Thrive Renewables acquired development rights for 57 MW Whitelaw Brae wind farm in Scottish Borders

Thrive Renewables has acquired the development rights for the 57 MW Whitelaw Brae wind farm located 15 km north of Moffat and 3 km south of Tweedsmuir in the Scottish Borders, UK.

This is the second initiative supported by Fair Play Clean Energy Ltd, a joint venture between Thrive Renewables and TopCashback Sustainability, which pools GBP 80 million (US$ 100 million) to advance clean energy projects in the UK. The 14-turbine Whitelaw Brae wind project is set to begin construction in 2025, with operations commencing by late 2026. Originally developed by BayWa r.e., Thrive Renewables acquired the project in December 2024 after successfully securing it through a competitive tender in October 2024.
