Irish utility ESB and new partner REG Power Management have taken the wraps off a pair of early-door Scottish onshore wind farm projects totalling up to 200MW.
A development services agreement signed today covers the 50-turbine Knockodhar and 15-unit Greenburn projects, described as at “concept stage”.
The proposals join an existing 400MW portfolio being pursued by ESB alongside Coriolis and a 35MW project in partnership with Savills.
Renewables manager Dave McNamara said the partnership with REG Power Management will help the company grow its onshore wind business in Scotland.
“This agreement builds on other successful partnerships in Scotland and both companies look forward to working together to provide development opportunities on these two sites of considerable potential,” he said.
Matt Partridge, development director of REG Power Management, added: “We’re delighted to be partnering with ESB on two exciting Scottish windfarm opportunities which could individually and together make a significant contribution to Scotland’s clean electricity requirements, the local communities and broader climate goals.”
