Mid Hill II wind farm received consent on 25 October 2013. This extension was constructed alongside Mid Hill I. The Mid Hill II wind farm has 8 Siemens 2.3 MW turbines.

In addition to the wind turbines, the site will have a metering and transformer building, operations centre, underground cables, temporary construction compound, access and site tracks and associated infrastructure.

The wind farm electricity output will be metered at the site then exported to an offsite substation via a 33kV underground cable.

The power is sold under long-term PPA power purchase contracts with Statkraft. Mid Hill I is able to provide electricity generation equivalent to the consumption of 31,000 homes on an annual average basis.

The turbines will be maintained under a contract with Siemens. Each turbine is monitored 24 hours a day seven days a week and any maintenance are carried out by specially trained and qualified technicians. As well as maintaining the turbines for safety and energy production the on-site team are responsible for monitoring the local ecology such as water tables, stream water quality and maintaining the natural plant and animal life around the wind farm.
