Infinergy, Boralex secure approval for 21 MW Limekiln Extension in Scotland

Scottish Ministers have granted approval and consented to the application for the development of the 21 MW extension of the Limekiln wind farm project in the UK. 

Infinergy now awaits a decision on the Limekiln Wind Farm Section 36C variation application, which would see a reduction in the number of turbines in that scheme, but an increase in the capacity of turbines on the site, matching those of the Limekiln Extension project.

Located to the east of Limekiln Estate, the proposed extension consists of 5 turbines which will add an additional 21 MW of installed capacity. It will have the potential to supply the equivalent of the average annual domestic electricity needs of over 18,494 homes, bringing the total number of homes supplied by both projects to nearly 50,000.
