Pre-application Public Consultation Events

We invite you to come and find out about our proposals for the 1,800 Megawatt, 40 Gigawatt-hour Earba Pumped Storage Hydro Scheme

We are holding public consultation events at:

  • Laggan Community Hall between 13:00 and 19:30 on Tuesday 21 November 2023
  • Spean Bridge Community Centre between 13:00 and 19:30 on Wednesday 22 November 2023

During these drop-in events, members of the community will be able to view key project information about our proposals. There will be the opportunity to ask questions to the project team and share feedback ahead of the submission of a planning application, which is expected to be in early 2024.

We look forward to seeing you at one of these events.

Please note that if you wish to make comments on the Proposed Development, you may do so in writing at the public consultation events, or alternatively at any time by email to info@gilkesenergy.com.

Comments made to Gilkes Energy Ltd are not representations to the Council. When Gilkes Energy Ltd submits a planning application on behalf of Earba Ltd there will be an opportunity to make representations on the application to the Council.
