 Comment

ScottishPower Renewables has been given the go-ahead to add another 39 turbines bringing the wind farm's generating capacity up to 593 MW. In 2006 the Scottish Executive gave the go-ahead for 140 turbines at the site south of East Kilbride, with Scottish Power Renewables applying last April for permission to build an additional 36 turbines. The company now wants to expand the site even further and said it would submit an application for 45 more turbines, each with three blades and about 140m high, to Scottish ministers in spring or summer 2009. The site is situated southwest of Whitelee Windfarm, to the north of the Irvine Valley and north east of Kilmarnock. The expansion will see its generating capacity increase from 322MW to 539MW - enough to power about 300,000 homes. The growth will see 69 Alstom ECO 100 turbines added, each with a 3MW capacity - greater than the current 2MW models. Six ECO 74 turbines with 1.67 MW capacity each will also be added. Whitelee visitors centre open 7 days, 10am - 5pm, visitor centre number: 01416140851

Project Info
Wind farm hailed a national success story a decade after opening
WHITELEE wind farm, the largest onshore wind project in the UK, had been set up to significantly boost the number of homes in Scotland powered by renewable energy.

Fury after giant wind farm plan is passed by only four councillors
Permission was granted for 15 turbines of 427ft at Sneddon Law, near Moscow, Ayrshire. The area is already dominated by the 215-turbine WHITELEE development, the largest wind farm in Europe.
