Welcome to our dedicated website for Appin Wind Farm

We have created this website earlier than usual in our engagement process, to provide a way for the public to easily access information and contact us with any project questions or queries.
The proposed Appin Wind Farm is located in Dumfries and Galloway, approximately 12.5km to the west of Thornhill and 7km north west of the village of Moniaive.
A Scoping Request has been submitted to the Scottish Government to consider the potential of up to 25 turbines, with a maximum blade tip height of up to 230m and an installed capacity of over 50MW. If the project is consented, we will be able to provide more households with carbon free electricity, heat and transport in the future, helping Scotland to meet our Net Zero emissions target by 2045.
You can view the Scoping Request documents here or find out more about the project by taking time to read our FAQ's or by asking us a question.
The details of the project submitted to planning in the future will be determined through ongoing environmental studies and consultation with communities. There will be several opportunities to view plans and provide your comments during the development stage to help shape the final design. You can submit your initial feedback using the form below.
We aim to hold future public exhibitions in person to hear your views first hand. We continue to follow all Scottish Government advice in relation to Covid-19. In the meantime this website will be updated regularly to keep you informed about how the project may be changing as it progresses and to continue a conversation with the local community. You can also find out more about our development team and Statkraft in the UK through this website.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts on the project which you can do by filling in the feedback form.
