Bhlaraidh Extension
SSE Renewables has been awarded planning permission to build extend the existing Bhlaraidh Wind Farm, located on the Glenmoriston Estate, north-west of Invermoriston in the Great Glen.
A Section 36 application for Bhlaraidh Wind Farm Extension, consisting of up to 18 turbines with a tip height of up to 180 metres, was approved by the Scottish Government's Energy Consents Unit in August 2022. The application was accompanied by a full Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report and other supporting documents and a subsequent Additional Information Report (AIR).
The public notices for the EIAR and the AIR can be viewed by clicking this link.
It is anticipated that the revised 15 turbine proposed development will generate approximately 84 megawatts (MW), while the existing 32 turbines at Bhlaraidh Wind Farm already generate 108 MW. The combined capacity could therefore generate approximately 192MW.
The full EIA report, supporting application documents and the AIR can be found on this webpage, via the links below, or on the Scottish Governments Energy Consent Unit's website here, using application reference number ECU00001900.Notice of Planning Consent

Benefits of the Proposal
SSE Renewables has recently published the document “Generating Benefits in the Great Glen”. This outlines that clean, renewable electricity generation, projects in the Great Glen in the north of Scotland – Stronelairg wind farm, Bhlaraidh wind farm, Dunmaglass wind farm and Glendoe hydro station – have delivered significant investment and good quality jobs in the local area and across Scotland and the UK. This report shows the economic contribution of these projects through their development, construction, operations and maintenance, with analysis undertaken by BiGGAR Economics. It also tells the story of wider socio-economic benefits of the projects, including a number of case studies showing the positive impacts on the people and business from activities in the local area. The illustration below provides an outline of the economic benefit of these projects to the Great Glen. The report can be read and downloaded on our News and Views page.
