Earlsburn Wind Farm Extension

Naturalis Energy Development Ltd, a joint venture between Renantis UK and Reg Power Management Ltd are experienced renewable energy developers and have been undertaking studies for a windfarm located approximately 2.2 km (4 km to the centre of the Site) due south of the village of Gargunnock, Stirling. The project would form an extension to the existing Earlsburn Wind Farm.

We held public exhibitions on the proposals in Gargunnock and Cambusbarron in June 2022 and engaged with local communities and other stakeholders. We held two further public exhibitions in Kippen and Fintry in September 2022, to allow communities to examine the new plans.

Following feedback from the public exhibitions, discussions with stakeholders and results of studies we have undertaken we made changes to the project., reducing the number of turbines from 15 to 11 to reduce visibility from some areas and allow for a greater distance between turbines and nearby homes. The site layout on the right gives an indication of the project site and the preferred temporary access route to the site from the A811.

Development submitted to Energy Consents Unit (ECU)

The development was submitted on 23/12/2022 to Scottish Government’s Energy Consents Unit (ECU) for determination. The project reference is ECU00004510 and all documents relating to the planning submission can be viewed on the ECU.

The project team will remain responsive to feedback on the proposals.
