GreenPower, with support from Thrive, has secured planning consent to extend the three-turbine wind farm that we co-own and operate in Scotland, situated on the site of an old open cast coal mine.

The extension will add up to three turbines with an expected generation capacity of up to 15MW, bringing the overall Drumduff wind farm to six turbines in total and a potential combined onsite generation capacity of over 21MW.

Located primarily in a commercial Sitka Spruce forest, the project plan includes substantial ‘forest to bog’ restoration of peatland bringing substantial ecological and biodiversity gains.
