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
Following our third round of public exhibitions on the 19th and 20th November 2024, we would like to say a huge thanks to everyone who came along to meet with our team and brave the cold weather. We hope you found the exhibitions helpful and informative. It is so important for us to meet with and listen to as many local residents and interested parties as possible to help us understand the local area and opinions. As a responsible developer we are always keen to gather feedback at each stage of development.
If you didn’t manage to come along, but would still like to find out more about what we are doing and ask the team some questions, we are also hosting a virtual exhibition on Thursday 28th November between 5pm and 7pm. You can join us using the following link: https://openplans.uk/glentarken/
