Glentarken Wind Farm
We are currently progressing proposals for the development of a wind farm on the Drummond Estate, located between St Fillans and Lochearnhead in Perthshire.
The development was re-named Glentarken Wind Farm in May 2023, following feedback from local stakeholders, to more effectively convey the location of the proposed site
We submitted a request for a scoping opinion to Scottish Ministers in December 2022. Feedback from this scoping stage was received in February 2023 and has been used to inform the site design and the content of the Environmental Impact Assessment Report.
A Meteorological (met) mast has been constructed to provide critical wind data to inform turbine positions and anticipated turbine performance data. We have also been conducting onsite surveys and assessment work, with results informing the design work to date.
The proposed turbine locations at the site are located within the Perth and Kinross local authority area. The proposed access route to the site will be from the A85, which is located within the Stirling local authority area.
Project status
Final design plans for Glentarken Wind Farm include up to 12 turbines with a maximum tip height of up to 180m, as well as ancillary infrastructure such as access tracks, turbine foundations and crane hardstandings at each turbine, construction compounds, onsite substation, operational building, batching plant and borrow pits. A battery energy storage solution (BESS) is also being proposed to optimise the renewable energy generation capacity at the site.
Next stage
We are pleased to announce that our next exhibition dates are now confirmed. Details for our November dates can be found in the Third Exhibition link below. A huge thanks to everyone who has managed to come along to our previous public exhibitions. It has already been great to meet with so many local residents and interested parties and get such valuable feedback. We hope you can make it along again to see the final proposed designs. As a responsible developer we are always keen to gather feedback at each stage of development.
Following the exhibitions the S36 application and supporting Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report will be submitted to the Energy Consents Unit (ECU), who will consult with statutory and non-statutory consultees. Copies of the application and the EIA report will be made available for stakeholders to review (including local community councils) during the consultation period when it will be assessed against relevant policies, in conjunction with stakeholder feedback. The application will then be determined by the Scottish Ministers.
