Low Carbon is proposing a new wind farm development on land approximately 2km south west of Ardrishaig, near Lochgilphead and entirely within the Argyll & Bute Local Authority area.
The Proposed Development, which has a maximum site generating capacity of 62MW, comprises of up to 10 stand-alone, three bladed horizontal axis wind turbines with a maximum tip height of 200m, a permanent met mast up to 125m and associated infrastructure.
High Brenfield Wind Farm is expected to achieve carbon payback in approximately 1.8 years.
Following a thorough programme of consultation, Low Carbon took on board community feedback and confirmed a further reduction in the number of turbines of more than 25%.
The Proposed Development site is currently operated as a commercial forestry plantation of predominantly non-native species and in anticipated to continue as such throughout the operational life of the wind farm.
