Construction started for 208 MW Onshore Wind farm in Scotland
SSE, the UK’s clean energy champion, has announced construction is under way on one of Britain’s newest onshore renewable energy projects, the 208 MW Strathy South Wind Farm in the Scottish Highlands.
Following a final investment decision by SSE in December 2024 to green light the £400m capital project, early construction works have now started at the project site in Sutherland, northern Scotland. The site location is adjacent to SSE’s operational Strathy North Wind Farm.
The 35-turbine project is fully contracted through a 15-year Allocation Round 5 (AR5) CfD contract with the UK Government and is targeting commercial operations in late 2027. Once completed, Strathy South will be capable of powering around 200,000 British homes annually with renewable energy.
