INITIAL plans have been lodged for a solar farm development in South Ayrshire.
The proposals have been put forward for land near the Auchencrosh Converter Station south of Ballantrae.
The Auchencrosh Converter Station is a key part of the Moyle Interconnector, which links the electricity transmission systems of Northern Ireland and Scotland.
This is through submarine cables running between converter stations in Country Antrim and Auchencrosh.
Owned and operated by Mutual Energy, the interconnector went into service in 2001 and can carry 500 megawatts.
The converter station at Auchencrosh is connected via a 64km overhead line to Coylton substation.
Last year, Mutual Energy completed the installation of a 490-panel solar photovoltaic (PV) array at its Moyle Interconnector converter site in County Antrim.
Now, plans have been put forward for a similar site in Ayrshire, with South Ayrshire Council being asked if an environmental impact assessment will be necessary.
No other details are included in the proposals, which can be found on the council’s planning portal using reference 26/00222/EIASCR.
