RWE Renewables will begin construction this year of its 63MW Strathy Wood onshore wind farm in northern Scotland.
Pre-construction activities are now underway and the developer is aiming to bring the project online in 2025.
A total of 11 turbines will be installed at the site, located in Caithness in the Highlands.
The developer has two other wind farms currently in construction in Scotland – 69MW Enoch Hill in East Ayrshire and 36MW Camster 2 in the Highlands.
Both are being built by civil engineer Farrans and are due to be completed in 2025.
RWE’s head of Scottish onshore renewables development Victoria Allen said: “RWE is entering 2024 strong, with our ambition in Scotland ever growing, and we are delighted to have reached significant construction milestones for Enoch Hill, Camster 2 and now Strathy Wood.
“Onshore wind has an important role to play in helping deliver the UK and Scottish governments’ net zero emission targets in the coming years and remains the lowest cost form of renewable electricity generation.”
Strathy Wood, Enoch Hill and Camster 2 are backed by Round 5 Contracts for Difference agreements.
