Get Involved

To ensure that the local community has access to the information about the project, Forth Energy is keen to promote open dialogue.

Biomass

For the Renewable Energy Plants at the Ports of Dundee, Grangemouth, Rosyth and Leith, we are consulting people on an ongoing basis, as we want to keep local people informed and give them opportunities to comment on our proposals as we progress our detailed environmental assessments.

We started the process of letting people know about the Renewable Energy Plant projects in January and February this year. To date there have been a range of meetings with community councils, environmental groups and other stakeholders. We have compiled a list of questions that people have asked.

We are holding follow-up events designed to provide additional information on the projects and answer the questions that we have been asked. All the comments we receive will be carefully considered and reflected in the Statement of Participation that will be submitted with the application for each site.

Forth Energy will submit four separate applications to the Scottish Government's Energy Consents Unit over the summer/autumn 2010 beginning with Dundee. There is a statutory right for people to comment on the proposals to the Scottish Government within 28 days of the application's submission. Forth Energy will put up another public exhibition when each application is submitted, that will summarise the contents of the application and provide information about how to comment to the Government on the application. This information will also be available on this website.
