We are currently progressing proposals for the development of a wind farm on the Drummond Estate, located between St Fillans and Lochearnhead in Perthshire.

The development was re-named Glentarken Wind Farm in May 2023, following feedback from local stakeholders, to more effectively convey the location of the proposed site

We submitted a request for a scoping opinion to Scottish Ministers in December 2022. Feedback from this scoping stage was received in February 2023 and has been used to inform the site design and the content of the Environmental Impact Assessment Report.

A Meteorological (met) mast has been constructed to provide critical wind data to inform turbine positions and anticipated turbine performance data. We have also been conducting onsite surveys and assessment work, with results informing the design work to date.

The proposed turbine locations at the site are located within the Perth and Kinross local authority area. The proposed access route to the site will be from the A85, which is located within the Stirling local authority area.

Project status

At present it is proposed that the wind farm would comprise approximately 14 turbines with a height of approximately 180 metres to the blade tip. Each turbine would have an installed capacity of up to six megawatts (MW) which would deliver an anticipated installed capacity of up to 84 MW. The scale and specification of the proposed wind farm is subject to change during the development of the site design.

As a responsible developer we are keen to hear feedback at each stage of the project’s development. We will engage in a full programme of consultation with stakeholders, including neighbours and community organisations.

Next stage

We will be presenting our site layout and design for feedback in early summer.
