ScottishPower Renewables (SPR) is currently constructing eight wind farms in Scotland totalling 474MW.
The company said more than 1000 people are employed on the projects erecting 221 turbines across the central belt and south west of Scotland.
The wind farms represent over £650m of investment and will see 145km of new roads constructed, SPR said.
The largest of the projects is the 239MW Kilgallioch wind farm, straddling the border of South Ayrshire and Dumfries and Galloway.
The others are: the two extensions totalling 63MW to the Black Law project in North Lanarkshire; the 51MWs that make up the two phases of the Ewe Hill wind farm near Lockerbie; the 69MW Dersalloch scheme in East Ayrshire, the 30MW Harehill extension close to New Cumnock and the 22MW Glen App wind farm northeast of Cairnryan.
SPR onshore director Kenny Peberdy said: “We are currently building more projects at the same time than we’ve ever built before through an unprecedented level of investment this year.”
