SSE starts commercial operation of 38 MW Gordonbush Extension wind project
SSE Renewables, a unit of UK utility SSE Plc, has commissioned Scotland’s newest onshore wind farm, Gordonbush Extension in the Scottish Highlands.
Situated 10 kilometers northeast of Brora, Gordonbush Extension comprises eleven of the latest Siemens Gamesa onshore wind turbines. Gordonbush Extension started generating green energy earlier in April 2021. Now fully operational, the wind farm generates 38 MW of wind-powered electricity, enough renewable energy to power almost 50,000 homes each year.
Over its expected 25-year lifetime, Gordonbush Extension wind farm will typically save over 37,000 tonnes annually of harmful carbon dioxide emissions, helping Scotland and the UK to transition towards a Net Zero carbon future.
