The Proposal

Located approximately 2.2 km (4 km to the centre of the site) due south of the village of Gargunnock, Stirling
Comprises comprises 11 turbines with a ground to blade tip of 180 metres, with a battery energy storage system and associated infrastructure such as a temporary meteorological mast, internal access roads, on-site substation
Offers a community benefit fund worth £330,000 (or equivalent) a year for the lifetime of the project, to be developed and shaped by local people
Has completed bird and additional ecological surveys and other technical assessments
Is subject to an application under Section 36 of the Electricity Act (1989) because the installed capacity of the windfarm is likely to be above 50MW; as such, it will be determined by Scottish Ministers. The proposed 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’s website.
