The Scottish government has given approval to Eon to reduce the number of turbines to 16 from 19 at its proposed over 54MW Enoch Hill wind farm in Scotland.
Eon welcomed the decision, which followed a public enquiry, adding that it looked forward to working with the local council and residents on the development.
The company submitted an initial application for 19 turbines in 2015, but during the course of the planning consultation process the application was revised and the turbines reduced to 16.
The wind farm will be located approximately 5km south-west of New Cumnock in East Ayrshire.
Enoch Hill project manager Simon Lejeune said: “We’re delighted that the Scottish ministers have granted consent for our wind farm proposal at Enoch Hill.
“We’ve worked for several years to design this project, during which time we’ve taken on board considerations from many stakeholders as well as feedback from the local community.”
