Vattenfall has made a final investment decision (FID) to construct the Clashindarroch II wind farm, next to its existing Clashindarroch wind farm, near Huntly in Aberdeenshire.
Clashindarroch has been generating electricity for ten years. The extension will add 14 wind turbines totalling around 63MW.
Preparatory works will begin in autumn 2025. Main construction is expected to begin in spring 2026, with first power anticipated in summer 2027.
Claus Wattendrup, UK Country Manager at Vattenfall, said: “This investment decision reflects our confidence in the UK’s onshore wind sector and is a clear signal of our commitment to creating local jobs and strengthening the supply chain.
