The renewables arm of BayWa has acquired the project rights for the 48MW Broken Cross wind farm in South Lanarkshire, Scotland.
The Germany developer purchased the project, which is located on a restored coal mine, from developer Brockwell Energy.
Broken Cross is a ten turbine wind farm site which sits 3.5km to the northwest of Rigside in South Lanarkshire and close to Dalquhandy wind farm, a 45MW project currently in construction, which BayWa r.e. acquired from Brockwell Energy in May 2020.
This acquisition further strengthens BayWa r.e.’s wind portfolio in Scotland and the UK as a whole, it said.
Gordon MacDougall, Managing Director, BayWa r.e. UK and Ireland, said: “Broken Cross is another high quality project developed by Brockwell Energy and we’re thrilled to add this new project to our growing UK portfolio of renewable energy generation sites.
“We look forward to starting on site and expanding Scotland’s capacity for wind energy generation, while creating opportunities for the local community through a significant community benefit package.”
