RWE is currently exploring the possibility of developing a wind farm on land next to our existing Deucheran Hill operational wind farm. The site includes land that is part of Scotland’s national forest estate, managed by Forestry Land Scotland and RWE have been awarded rights to develop the land for a potential wind farm.
Project status: Pre-planning

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 Deucheran Hill 2. Since our last round of public events, we’ve made several 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.
The events are due to take place at the following locations:
Tuesday, 10th June 2025
2:00pm – 6:30pm
Carradale Village Hall

For those unable to attend in person, all exhibition materials will be available to view on this page from 10th June.
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 and are used solely by RWE and its partners to help design the wind farm. If an application is submitted, there will be an opportunity to make representations on that application to the consenting authority.
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].
