Community Windpower’s Sanquhar 2 wind project in Dumfries and Galloway and East Ayrshire has been granted planning consent by Scottish Ministers.
Originally submitted in March 2019 as a 50-turbine scheme, Sanquhar 2 Community Wind Farm will now consist of 44 machines.
Out of these 42 turbines will have a maximum tip height of 200 metres and two wind turbines will have a maximum tip height of 149 metres.
The scheme will be located on the border of Dumfries and Galloway and East Ayrshire, 6.5km south-west of Sanquhar.
The decision to grant consent for the scheme comes after a public inquiry held in October 2021 and a further hearing on matters regarding the National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) held in January 2023.
Community Windpower managing director Rod Wood said: “We are thrilled that Sanquhar 2 has been consented.
“This scheme will provide over 300MW of clean, green electricity, which is a significant step forward in Scotland’s ambitious journey to achieve net zero emissions by 2045.
“Sanquhar 2 will now play a huge part in achieving Scotland’s legally binding climate targets.”
