About the Project

The proposed Clune Wind Farm is located approximately 5.5km¹ south of Tomatin in the Highlands.

The proposed development is for up to 26 turbines with a tip height of up to 200m, and an overall generating capacity of 187.2MW and a battery energy Storage system (BESS), rated at 100MW.  It is estimated that the wind farm, if consented, would generate the electricity equivalent demand of almost 215,500² Scottish homes each year.

In February 2025, we submitted an application to the Energy Consents Unit and please visit the Planning Application page for further information and the application documents.

In February 2024, we submitted a Scoping Report to the Scottish Government’s Energy Consents Unit (ECU) which set out and sought feedback on the proposed scope of environmental assessment work.  You can view or download a copy of the Scoping Report by clicking on the links below:
