Scotland has some of the best wind resource in the world, which is why we’re thrilled to have acquired the rights to build the 57MW Whitelaw Brae wind farm in the Scottish Borders.

As well as being our largest project to date, the deal marks another major step in our ambitious growth plans to double generation capacity within the next five years. It is the second project to be funded by Fair Play Clean Energy Ltd, Thrive’s joint venture with TopCashback Sustainability, which brings together a combined £80 million in capital to fund new clean energy projects in the UK.

Construction of Whitelaw Brae is expected to start in 2025, with commissioning planned by the end of 2026. Once operational, it will be capable of generating up to 149,400 MWh of clean electricity per year, the equivalent of powering 46,100 average UK homes, and delivering 65,300 tonnes of emissions reductions.
