A massive solar energy park comprising more than 105,000 panels could soon be adorning the north-east.If approved, the 35-year proposal by Green Energy International would make it one of the largest renewable energy project in Scotland set over 150 acres.The site would lie just a stone’s throw from the St Fergus Gas Terminal which has been processing North Sea oil and gas since 1982.Bilbo Farm at Crimond was ultimately selected from 132 farms contacted by Green Energy as it was considered well suited and well located to meet the need for the development of solar photovoltaics (PV).If approved the scheme will be located midway between Keyhead and Crimond to the west of the A90.
