Welcome to the Energy Consents Unit Portal
Scottish Ministers decide on applications to build, operate or modify onshore electricity generating stations over 50 megawatts (MW), such as wind, solar, battery and hydropower. Ministers also decide applications on overhead power lines, large oil and gas pipelines, and related infrastructure. These applications are administered by the Energy Consents Unit.
This portal allows you to:
• View and search energy infrastructure applications
• Submit representations on live consultations
