EDF Renewables is to start construction of the 30MW West Benhar wind farm in Scotland on 1 March.
The French developer said it will get on site in North Lanarkshire after securing consent for design changes, including increased tip heights of 149.9 metres, up from 138.5 metres.
Consent is in hand for eight turbines but only seven will be installed. Vestas V117-4.3MW units will feature.
The project is expected to take up to 15 months to complete, with turbine delivery starting in mid-February 2022, and completion in June 2022.
Project manager Stelios Christodoulou said “We are excited to get work under way, this project is an important addition to our portfolio of onshore wind developments. Not only will it accelerate our journey to a net zero future but it shows our commitment to investing and growing in Scotland.
“We will be engaging with the local communities in the coming months to keep them up to date with the project and discuss both the community fund and opportunities for community investment.”
