Clashindarroch II Wind Farm Proposal
Located near to Huntly, Aberdeenshire, the proposal consists of 14 turbines, each with up to a 6MW capacity and with a tip height of 180m.
Planning consent
Proposals for Clashindarroch II were submitted into the planning process in January 2020, and consent was awarded in June 2023.
The 77MW scheme would consist of 14 new turbines, each with around a 6 megawatt (MW) capacity. The turbines are expected to produce enough fossil-free electricity to meet the equivalent demand of more than 55,000 UK households, and annually prevent more than 70,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere.

Reaching net zero
Scotland has set its goal to reach net zero by 2045, and renewable energy projects such as this will provide the platform for the decarbonisation of homes, businesses and transport needed to reach this ambition. Onshore wind can make a significant contribution, and we can deploy more powerful turbines than ever before.
