Coille Beith Wind Farm is a new wind farm proposal for an area of land south of the River Oykel, and approximately 15km south-west of Lairg.

We are proposing a wind farm with a maximum of 11 turbines with a height of up to 200m to tip. We invite locals and interested parties to come along to our second round of public exhibitions in early April 2025. 

Public Exhibitions

Following our first exhibitions in September 2024, we have been carrying out surveys as part of our Environmental Impact Assessment and amending our designs based on survey results and public feedback. Based on feedback, we have removed the proposed Battery Energy Storage System, reduced the number of planned turbines, and relocated planned turbines.

Visit our public exhibitions in Rosehall or our project website from 2nd April to find out more about the changes we have made.

Our Design Iterations

In Summer 2024, we lodged a scoping request with the Energy Consents Unit proposing a maximum of 19 turbines with a height of up to 200m to tip and a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). 

Following feedback at our public exhibition in September 2024 and the results of surveys carried out as part of our Environmental Impact Assessment, we have removed the BESS and eight of the turbines. We have also made a number of adjustments to the locations of turbines to reduce the landscape and visual impact.

Project Information

All materials from our September 2024 public exhibition remain available in Project Documents.

Scoping for Coille Beith Wind Farm was submitted to the Scottish Government Energy Consents Unit (ECU) in July 2024 (ref. ECU00005173). All related documents can be found on the ECU website and in our Project Documents section. 

When our proposal is submitted interested parties and statutory consultees will have the opportunity to formally comment on the application. All of the information will be available to view on the Energy Consent Unit’s website and our own project website at the time of submission.
