Our Creachan project is located in Ross and Cromarty, Scotland.
We originally chose land at Creachan due to various investigations that showed its suitability for a wind farm. Our early studies showed the area’s wind resources and connections to the national electricity network make it an excellent place for a wind farm.

During the past year we have been carrying out a series of environmental surveys to help us design the wind farm. Alongside these surveys we have also held a series of initial public consultation events and the feedback from these has also helped us shape the design. We are now preparing to host a second round of public exhibitions for Creachan Wind Farm proposals. Since our last round of public events, we’ve made several significant updates to our designs, and we believe it’s vital that local residents have the opportunity to view these changes and share their thoughts.
Meaningful community engagement is at the heart of our approach—your input plays an important role in shaping our proposals. Invitations have also been sent to over 12,000 residents. Full details of the events have also been published in the Press and Journal (16 & 23 April) and the Ross-shire Journal (18 & 25 April).
The events are due to take place at the following locations:
| Ardross Community Hall Ardross Ross-shire IIV17 0XW Wednesday 30th April 2025 14:00 – 19:00 |
Victoria Diamond Jubilee Hall Hermitage Street Evanton, Ross-shire IV16 9YG Thursday 1st May 2025 14:00 – 19:00 |
For those unable to attend in person, all exhibition materials will be available to view on this page from 30th April.

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.
We are currently seeking input and ideas for the future Creachan community benefit fund. If you have any comments, questions or suggestions for the fund, please contact our community investment team.
