ScottishPower plans repowering of Hagshaw Hill wind project in South Lanarkshire
ScottishPower Renewables is planning to repower the 16 MW Hagshaw Hill wind farm in South Lanarkshire that has been generating clean energy in Scotland since 1995.
The project will now consist of 14 new wind turbines with a combined capacity of over 79 MW. Once complete, the wind farm will be capable of producing around five times the amount of clean, green energy than before, from just over half the number of turbines.
The Hagshaw Hill repowering project is part of ScottishPower Renewables’ wider ambition to maximize the efficiency of its existing sites by replacing older turbines with new, more powerful, and efficient models.
The decommissioning process will continue over the summer and into early autumn, and the delivery of the first new turbine components to the site is expected in May 2024. The new site should be fully operational by early 2025.
