Beinneun

The Wind Farm Proposal

RidgeWind are proposing a wind farm development at Beinneun in the Highlands. The site is located 8km west of Invergarry and is adjacent to an existing wind farm. Consultants have been working on the site since 2009 and with advice from experts, consultees and the community consultation meetings held in February 2011, our landscape architects have refined the proposed turbine layout to the final layout of 25 turbines. The turbines would be similar in appearance to the existing turbines at the adjacent wind farm and would have a maximum tip height of 132m. The site would have an installed capacity of approximately 85MW.

RidgeWind have submitted the Beinneun Wind Farm application to the Scottish Government, it was registered on 4th November. The statutory consultation period will end on 23rd December.

Beinneun Wind Farm Co-operative
