Achrugan Wind Farm proposals unveiled
Statkraft have announced a proposal for a new wind farm development, known as Achrugan, near Strathy in Caithness. The proposal is for up to 14 turbines and 50MW of battery energy storage, located in an area of plantation forestry approximately 27km south-west of Thurso.
The project is at an early stage of development, with the first formal approach to The Highland Council (via scoping) shortly and an application to The Scottish Government (Section 36 application) to follow in 2025.
Ahead of the submission of a scoping request, local residents and businesses are invited to meet the project team and view the early plans at two upcoming exhibitions:
- Strathy Village Hall: 1.30pm to 7.30pm, Wednesday, 29th May 2024; and
- Bettyhill Village Hall: 10am to 2pm, Thursday, 30th May 2024.
