Enercon has secured a turbine supply agreement totalling almost 19MW with Ripple Energy for the Kirk Hill wind farm in Ayrshire, Scotland.
The deal is for eight E-92 machines, which will have a combined capacity of 18.8MW.
Construction is due to commence later this year with commissioning planned for 2023/2024.
Enercon director of sales and after sales Western Europe Rick Hatton said: “Enercon have a proud history in Scotland with single turbines and larger wind farms serving local communities for many years now.
“We are delighted to have signed a TSA to supply the largest consumer owned wind farm in the UK and it’s fantastic to be involved in such an innovative project.”
Ripple Energy founder and chief executive Sarah Merrick said: “We’re thrilled to be working with Enercon on Kirk Hill. The E-92 turbines are a great fit for the project.
“Enercon will also maintain the turbines, providing assurance to the wind farm’s thousands of owners.”
Ripple Energy enables consumers to purchase shares in large-scale wind farms.
People were given the opportunity to part-own the project to supply them with stably-priced electricity via the grid, for the wind farm’s 25 year lifetime.
Over 5600 people and businesses have come together to invest in the project.
Planning permission for Kirk Hill was given in October 2020 following consultation and assessment.
