Tangy Wind Farm
Tangy is located approximately 9km northwest of Campbeltown on the west coast of Scotland's Kintyre Peninsula.
The original wind farm at Tangy, comprising 15 turbines has been in operation since 2003. Tangy II became operational in 2007, adding a further 7 machines bringing the site total to 22 turbines.
Tangy is 100% owned and operated by SSE Renewables.
SSE Renewables received consent to 're-power' the Tangy wind farm in 2019.
You can find out more about the Tangy Repowering plans and our S36C Variation application which was submitted in June 2026 to the Scottish Government’s Energy Consents Unit (ECU) by clicking here.
We have applied to Argyll and Bute Council, in July 2026, seeking approval for an extension to the operational life of Tangy I and Tangy II wind farms until 2032. If approved this will enable the existing wind farms to continue operating while Scottish Ministers consider our application to vary the S.36 consent for the repowering of the Tangy IV Wind Farm.
Tangy Community Fund
Through our Tangy wind farm we make around £28,000 per year available for community and charitable projects in Argyll & Bute. So far, over £300,000 has been invested in local projects.
