Stornoway Wind Farm – Consented
35 X 180m turbines
The Scottish Ministers granted consent for Stornoway Wind Farm in September 2012,
to construct and operate 36 wind turbines and ancillary infrastructure. In May 2015,
an application was made under the Electricity Act to vary this consent and the deemed
planning permission, with regard to the layout, output and size of the wind turbines
(increased turbines up to 145m to blade tip) and amendments to certain aspects of the
ancillary infrastructure. The varied consent was granted on 22 March 2016 (hereafter
referred to as the “Consented Development”).
On 22 May 2019, the Company submitted a new application (the “Application”) to
construct and operate the Stornoway Wind Farm. The proposed Development
comprises a different layout to that of the Consented Development with 33 turbines; 9
turbines with a maximum blade tip height of up to 156m, and 24 turbines with a
maximum blade tip height of up to 180m. A proposed battery storage facility of around
20 MW is sited within the substation compound in a single storey building of
approximately 37m x 10m. https://www.energyconsents.scot/ApplicationDetails.aspx?cr=ECU00001850&fbclid=IwAR1-HA5pXixthptIqnEQx_sKspRK-V1zYE_OFJ0JDaCVDxARpSOlrKJfcCM
