Teviot

The proposed Teviot Wind Farm is located approximately 8km south-west of Hawick. 

An application was submitted to the Scottish Government Energy Consents Unit in May 2022 and the proposal subsequently amended to reflect comments received on landscape, visual impacts, and historic environment by removing and relocating turbines.

On 3 March 2025 Scottish Borders Council raised an objection to the Teviot Wind Farm application and it was referred to Public Local Inquiry.

Muirhall Energy have now withdrawn the current application and will bring forward a revised proposal in due course. Read more about the factors which led to this decision here.

We’re pleased to have supported a diverse range of local clubs and organisations which reflect a broad range of interests, with funding totalling over £144,000. Groups benefitting have included sports clubs and youth services, the Arts and recreation, environmental enhancement, education and the Third Sector. The Teviot area has a fantastic community spirit, and we’re delighted to have had the opportunity to play our part by helping where we can.

Community Investment Fund

Once the site is operational, the Community Investment Fund is launched to further support communities throughout the lifetime of the project. For Teviot, an industry-leading £7,000 per MW is being offered, every year of the lifetime of the windfarm.

As of December 2024, with the support of Foundation Scotland, all 12 involved Community Councils have signed the Teviot Wind Farm Community Benefit Agreement to recieve community investment funds.

Shared Ownership

Muirhall Energy are also offering up to 10% ownership of the proposed development to the surrounding communities, which if secured, should result in a substantial increase in community revenue available for local investment.  

Community Involvement 

Muirhall Energy will place work with local contractors who tender within 10% of the best quote for any work on the project.  A Meet the Buyer event will be held prior to construction to give local businesses an opportunity to learn more about the proposed development before submitting tenders.

Local tradespeople were contracted to refurbish the former Post Office in Hawick, delivering this to an exceptional standard, and this building served Muirhall Energy’s projects in the south of Scotland until it was closed in Sept 2025 following acts of vandalism.  The beautifully refurbished building remains a testament to the outstanding tradespeople of the town and our hope is that the building will be used to benefit the town for many years to come.
