Plan to remove 34 turbines from Highland wind farm – BBC

Published by SAS Volunteer on

Plans have been submitted to remove 34 turbines from a hillside in Easter Ross and replace them with 10 new ones – more than twice the size.
Novar 1, near Evanton, has been operational since 1997.
Operator Nadara has proposed decommissioning the existing turbines, which have a maximum blade tip height of 60m (197ft), and installing new ones measuring up to 180m (590ft).
The company has submitted its proposals to Highland Council, but the Scottish government would have the final say on the project. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3r9ln7rl5jo
