Rivox Wind Energy Hub
Supporting a large-scale renewables development
LUC's environmental expertise is guiding the development of the proposed Rivox Wind Energy Hub in Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland.
Belltown Power’s 208.8 MW wind farm with battery storage will be a major contributor to Scotland's clean energy goals.
Our work ensures responsible development, prioritising both clean energy generation and environmental protection and enhancement, should the project be approved.
Balancing progress with protection
LUC's Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) minimises Rivox Wind Energy Hub’s effects on the environment.
The goal is to minimise environmental impact while maximising clean energy generation and habitat improvement.
This ensures responsible development, meeting present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own.
Minimising visual impact
LUC's Landscape & Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA) team guided the design and assessed the proposed Rivox Wind Energy Hub's visual impact, considering the landscape and people's experience.
We led the design of the turbine layout to minimise visual effects and respect the surrounding area.
Protecting and improving the natural environment
LUC's ecological surveys inform Rivox Wind Energy Hub's design, EIA and Outline Restoration and Enhancement Plan (OREP).
Minimising disruption during construction, this plan safeguards existing habitats and enhances them for future generations.
Stakeholder input guides measures like planting to boost biodiversity, demonstrating how renewables and ecological responsibility can work together.
