Scotland leads the way in harnessing renewable energy sources. The Scottish Government has committed to end Scotland’s contribution to climate change within a generation under the Climate Change Bill, which passed in 2019.  This landmark legislation will see Scotland become a net-zero society by 2045 at the latest – five years before the rest of the UK and in line with the advice from the government’s independent expert advisors, the UK Committee on Climate Change.

This aim cannot be met without further renewable energy development, and onshore wind has a major role to play. The Clashindarroch Wind Farm Extension project consists of up to 21 wind turbines, with an installed capacity of up to 6.6 megawatt (MW) each, and a state-of-the-art 50MW battery energy storage facility. The development site is situated to the west of the operational Clashindarroch Wind Farm near Dufftown in Moray. Once constructed and operational, the project will contribute up to 188.6MW towards renewable energy targets and is being developed by renewable energy company Boralex, previously known as Infinergy.
