Welcome to Clashindarroch Wind Farm Extension

Scotland leads the way in harnessing renewable energy sources. The Scottish Government has committed to end Scotland’s contribution to climate change within a generation under the Climate Change Bill, which passed in 2019.  This landmark legislation will see Scotland become a net-zero society by 2045 at the latest – five years before the rest of the UK and in line with the advice from the government’s independent expert advisors, the UK Committee on Climate Change. In the fight to limit worldwide warming to 1.5 degrees, Scotland has set two interim targets for carbon emissions reduction: 75% by 2030 and by 90% by 2040, compared to 1990 levels.

The Clashindarroch Wind Farm Extension proposal consists of 22 wind turbines, and a state-of-the-art battery energy storage facility, to the west of the operational Clashindarroch Wind Farm. The project would contribute up to 195.2 megawatts towards renewable energy targets and is being developed by renewable energy company Boralex, previously known as Infinergy.
