German renewables developer Energiekontor has sold a Scottish wind park project to global energy company Uniper.
The onshore wind project, located in the south-west of Scotland, will have a total generation capacity of around 46MW.
A total of seven Nordex N163 wind turbines are planned for the site, each with a maximum tip height of 200 metres and a rotor diameter of 163 metres.
The average expected annual yield of the wind park is around 158GWh of electricity per year – enough to supply more than 66,000 average households with renewable electricity.
In October 2023, Energiekontor successfully participated with the project in the fifth round of auctions held by the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) for the allocation of a contract for difference (CfD).
In this context, the project was awarded an inflation-linked feed-in tariff from which the wind park will benefit once it goes on stream.
“We are particularly pleased to have successfully led this first joint project with Uniper to this important milestone,” said Peter Szabo, chief executive of Energiekontor.
“This project marks another valuable addition to United Kingdom’s growing renewable energy landscape. With the sale of the project, we can now enter the realisation phase with Uniper.”
