PLANS to increase the size of a major windfarm have been given the
greenlight by the Scottish Government.
An extra 15 turbines are to be built at Kype Muir site in South
Lanarkshire, along with the existing 226 currently in development.
The 41 turbine project is estimated to produce enough electricity to power
more than 80,000 homes when it is completed.
Colin Anderson, development director at Banks Renewables, said:
“Construction is already underway on the approved main Kype Muir Wind Farm.
“We are delighted that the Scottish Government has approved the expansion
of the Kype Muir Wind Farm, which will bring substantial environmental
benefits and a potentially transformative economic boost to the area.”
“Both the government and the council clearly appreciated of the positive
impact the Kype Muir Wind Farm can have on the surrounding area and the
people who live there.”
