Vattenfall launches plans for SW Scotland wind hub
Vattenfall is to seek planning consent for two new major onshore wind farms in South West Scotland which could feature up to 56 wind turbines 250 metres in height.
The Swedish energy major has submitted scoping reports for a 35-machine project at Whiteneuk and a 21-machine project at Quantans Hill and is exploring the potential for both projects to feature battery storage.
The Whiteneuk wind farm project would be situated around 5km south of Moniaive while the Quantans Hill wind farm site is around 2km to the north-east of Carsphairn village.
Vattenfall said it was taking the two projects further and added that it was keen to start researching and prioritising views from the local community to help shape their proposals.
