Latest information

Early assessment of the site has suggested that it could accommodate a commercial scale wind farm and as such would likely see the proposal have an installed capacity of over 50 Mega Watts. Therefore, it is our intention to submit a request for a Scoping Opinion to the Scottish Government’s Energy Consents Unit (ECU). The Scoping Request seeks consultee feedback on the development proposals, the environmental aspects that will be addressed in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and the methodologies proposed to undertake these assessments. Importantly, the Argyll and Bute Council and other consultees, including the Community Council, will have the opportunity to provide early comment and feedback.

RWE will soon hold a series of public exhibitions where we will show our initial plans. Please revisit this site for future updates.

Virtual exhibition

RWE is currently exploring the potential to build a new wind farm called Deucheran Hill 2, located on the Mull of Kintyre, just north of Carradale.

We invite you to attend our forthcoming public consultation event, where you can view and comment on our proposal. Members of the project team will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.

In addition to the in-person event, an online virtual consultation room will be available, displaying the same information shown at the event. This can be viewed until November 11th at rwe.com/deucheranhill2.

Printable and electronic comment forms will be available so that feedback can be provided to the project team.

Please note that any comments made to RWE are not formal representations to the consenting authority. If an application is submitted, there will be an opportunity to make representations on that application.

If you have any questions about the consultation event, please email our project team.

Community Support

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 Deucheran Hill 2 community benefit fund. If you have any comments, questions or suggestions for the fund, please contact our community investment team via [email protected].
