The 10 turbine site will be located in Caithness near to our existing operational project, Camster. When completed it will be capable of producing up to 36MW of electricity.
RWE Renewables will continue to liaise with the local community through the Community Liaison Group for the next stage of this project.
As of 31st July all wind turbine component have been successfully delivered to site and no further deliveries are expected. We thank all residents of Wick and the surrounding area for their patience during the last few weeks. This has allow us to deliver the wind turbines in a safe and organised manner. Work has now begun to install the wind turbines on site and this will take place over the course of then next few months.

RWE is committed to supporting the communities that neighbour our wind farms. In 2022 alone community funds from wind farms operated by RWE in Scotland invested around £780,000 into local projects.
Camster Wind Farm already has an operational community fund, administered by Foundation Scotland, with all decisions on the allocation of funding made by a panel of local people. Camster II Wind Farm, once operational, will bring with it further community funding. During the wind farm’s construction period, our Community Investment Manager will work with local stakeholders to understand the best way to structure the new fund to maximise the benefit to local communities.
If you have any comments or questions on the Camster II Wind Farm Community Fund, please contact our Community Investment Team email: community.investment@rwe.com
