Our plans for Balnespick Wind Farm have been designed in response to local feedback and are focussed on delivering for the Highland economy, tourism and community.
If consented, the wind farm will generate up to 64.8MW of clean electricity and could provide power directly to Tomatin Distillery – helping the distillery to cut its energy costs, reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and increase its use of non-fossil fuels.
We are also working with local stakeholders to ensure that onshore wind developers in the area can collectively deliver for the local community and maximise the economic benefits that our proposals can bring to the area to support local aspirations.
