Press coverage of the application reports a 212.42 MW scheme. No retrieved source states whether this is IT load, grid connection capacity or total electrical demand, so it is excluded from every total. Edinburgh councillors refused the application in February 2026 against officer advice; the applicant appealed to the DPEA (PPA-230-2794) and no appeal decision had been published at the time of this review, with a full environmental impact assessment directed on 30 July 2026.
