SSE Renewables has submitted a planning application to extend its Bhlaraidh wind farm near Invermoriston, southwest of Inverness in the Scottish Highlands.
The existing 32 turbines at Bhlaraidh wind farm have a total capacity of 108MW. The Bhlaraidh Extension would add up to 100MW to that total with just 18 new turbines, which would have a tip height of up to 180m. They would be sited on land to the east of the existing wind farm, which began operating in 2017.
SSE said research by BiGGAR Economics found the development and construction of the existing Bhlaraidh wind farm generated more than £37 million in gross value added to the Great Glen economy.
