Eredine

Our Eredine project is located in Argyll & Bute, Scotland, between the villages of Eredine to the west and Furnace to the east.

Following the submission of the Scoping Report in 2022, we have now submitted our planning application. Further information and details can be found below. 

We originally chose land at Eredine 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.
