The Project

Located near Spittal in Caithness
Replacing the existing 21 turbines with up to 7 turbines with a maximum tip height of 200 metres
Will include associated infrastructure – internal access roads, on-site substations, borrow pits
Potential battery storage system will store energy produced so the wind farm provides electricity to the National Grid even when the wind is not blowing
Will provide funding to local communities
Extensive environmental and ornithology surveys underway
Public exhibitions will be carried out to share the plans with local communities and gather their feedback
As the installed capacity of the wind farm will be 49 MW our planning application will be made under the Town and Country Planning act and will be determined by the local authority.
