SI is building itself an ever bigger home — now gigawatts on the site of a former nuclear plant.
CX Tech has filed an application at the Chapelcross site for eight buildings of 120 MW each (162 thousand sq m), powered directly by wind, solar and biomass sources, with construction in 2027–2035 if permission is granted this year.
