Project updates
These are the latest project updates for Coille Beith Wind Farm.
Latest news
We are pleased to have submitted a Scoping Request to the Scottish Government for Coille Beith Wind Farm, located approximately 15 km south west of Lairg and 18 km north west of Bonar Bridge within The Highland Council area.
We are considering the potential for up to 19 turbines, with a maximum blade tip height of up to 200m. An initial site layout is shown below.
Scoping is the very earliest stage of a development project. It provides the opportunity to formally gather views and feedback of key stakeholders, such as NatureScot and local community councils, on the proposal and the key topics to be assessed for the development. The findings of these asessments and feedback will help shape our proposals and any future planning application.
Two exhibition periods will be held for the project, the first is expected to be held in Summer/Autumn 2024 and the second held before the submission of any application in 2025. We are currently aiming to submit an application during 2025.
You can find the full scoping documents including a location plan for the proposal under project documents and provide your feedback here.
