The planned 23-turbine windfarm at An Suidhe, five miles west of Inveraray and now owned by npower Renewables who took it over from E.ON UK, has been given planning permission by Argyll and Bute Council. It will generate up to 21 megawatts, providing power for around eleven thousand homes. npower describe the An Suidhe as ‘an ideal wind farm site, it has high wind speeds, is outside International, National and Highland Council designations for landscape and ecology. It is also close to the electricity grid and has good road access via the nearby A83.’
npower Renewables currently operate nineteen windfarms across the UK and are investing in their first wave power project on Siadar, Isle of Lewis.
