Scotland leads the way in harnessing renewable energy sources. However, the net-zero targets set by Government in Scotland, the UK and Europe will require further investment in onshore wind. Ways to ensure the landscape can accommodate this include carefully chosen sites and sensitively designed developments.
As part of this ambition, an application under S36 of the Electricity Act has been submitted for a development called Shepherds’ Rig Wind Farm, near Carsphairn in Dumfries and Galloway. Wind developer and applicant Infinergy was acquired by Canadian renewables company Boralex and has been operating as Boralex since early 2023. The company develops onshore wind farms throughout the United Kingdom and has in-house expertise and experience needed to design, develop, build and operate wind energy developments.
