Novar Wind Farm sits in a picturesque Highland location approximately 5.5 miles west of Alness. From its elevated position on an extensive Easter Ross shooting estate it enjoys commanding views of the Cromarty Firth and Ben Wyvis.
As well as being steeped in the history of Scotland's Highland clans, the area is well known for its contribution to Highland employment with a number of light and heavy industries based locally. The yards at Invergordon and Nigg play a significant role in offshore development in the oil and gas sectors and, more recently, have been heavily involved in fabrication for renewables including offshore wind farms.
Novar was built in 1997 and its 34 turbines are rated at 500kW giving the site has an installed capacity of 17MW, generating enough energy to power 14,027 homes.
Repowering Project
As it becomes vital to combat climate change by producing more electricity from renewable sources, allowing fossil fuels to be phased out, we are proposing to repower the wind farm. Our proposal is for up to 9 wind turbines with an installed capacity of approximately 6.2 MW each which will replace the existing 34 turbines.
This would bring the total installed capacity of the wind farm up to around 55.8 MW, helping to meet the Scottish Government’s targets for reducing emissions of greenhouses gases and powering Scotland with renewable energy.
We have now submitted a planning application to repower Novar 1 Wind Farm, full details of which can be found on the Planning Application page of this website.
- Located in Easter Ross, near Evanton
- Up to 9 wind turbines replacing the existing 34
- Will include associated infrastructure – internal access roads, onsite substations, borrow pits
- Will provide local community benefit funding
- Extensive environmental and ornithology surveys underway
- Public exhibitions will be carried out to share the plans with local communities and gather their feedback
- As the combined installed capacity of the wind farm will be over 50MW, our planning application will be made under Section 36 of the Electricity Act (1996) and will be determined by Scottish Government Ministers
Project benefits
At our wind farms we invite the local community to help us shape a community benefit package that best meets local needs and wishes.
If the project receives planning consent, we will provide a community benefit package of £5,000 per installed MW per annum and this will be delivered in partnership with local stakeholders to help ensure the funding delivers the maximum benefit.
Nadara is committed to investigating the opportunity for a shared ownership scheme to be provided at Novar and will continue to engage with communities and stakeholders about the scope of the community benefit package post submission of the repowering planning application.
