The final Onshore Transmission Works (OTW) Consultation for the proposed Spiorad na Mara offshore wind Project was carried out over a period of 1 month, from 24th November to 24th December 2025.
The purpose of the consultation was to share details of, and seek feedback on, the final onshore proposals, including the updated grid substation location which was consulted on in September and October 2025.
A total of 59 people attended the 3 in-person public exhibitions held in Stornoway, Borve and Barvas over the 24th November and 25th November 2025. All consultation materials from the in-person exhibitions were made available on the Project website allowing anyone to review the updated information at any convenient time over the 1-month period.
Participants in the consultation process were offered a number of ways to provide feedback, including physical feedback forms that were available at the in-person events or from the Project office in Stornoway, as well as online feedback forms and options to share feedback by email or verbally to a team member.
A total of 33 pieces of feedback were recorded over the course of the consultation.
In our latest publication issued on 26 February 2026, we have categorised and summarised all feedback received and provided responses in terms of how this feedback has been considered and addressed and/or how it will be addressed at a later stage.
