Vattenfall submits approval plans for 77 MW Clashindarroch II wind project in Aberdeenshire

Vattenfall has submitted proposals for its Clashindarroch II wind farm in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

The 77 MW scheme, to the northeast of the existing Clashindarroch wind farm, would consist of 14 new turbines, each with around a 6 megawatt (MW) capacity. The turbines are expected to produce enough fossil-free electricity to meet the equivalent demand of more than 55,000 UK households, and annually prevent more than 70,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere.

The submission comes after a final round of local events held by Vattenfall late in 2019 with local residents, community groups and businesses, to discuss how Clashindarroch II could add to the long-term investment in the area to help further support economic development.
