SSE to add 11 turbines to the existing 70 MW Gordonbush wind farm in Sutherland county
SSE Renewables has received the decision of the Scottish Ministers to revise the planning consent for an 11-turbine extension to Gordonbush onshore wind farm.
Located around 12km north west of Brora in Sutherland, the existing 70 MW Gordonbush Wind Farm with 35 Senvion turbines, has been generating clean, renewable energy since 2012 as part of SSE Renewables portfolio of nearly 2 GW of operational onshore wind farms across the UK and Ireland.
Consent had previously been granted in 2017 for a 15-turbine extension beside the existing Gordonbush site. However, this revised consent will see turbine numbers reduced from 15 to 11 whilst increasing the height of the turbines by less than 20m to 149.9m.
