Energiekontor has secured approval on appeal for its 12-turbine Pines Burn wind farm near Hawick in the Scottish Borders.
Scottish officials overturned local authority rejection of the project, finding that benefits outweighed any impacts on landscape, visuals and tourism.
Pines Burn will feature seven turbines of up to 149.9 metres and five of up to 130 metres.
The original application was filed by the German developer in January 2017 and refused by Scottish Borders Council in November last year.
Pines Burn is expected to total up to 36MW when constructed.
