A'Chruach Wind Farm is located in Kilmichael Forest which is around four kilometres west of Minard in Argyll. The site's 21 turbines are spectacularly set in the rugged Highland terrain, towering over the managed pine forest and looking north towards Loch Glashan. Construction work began in November 2014 and was completed in March 2016. As well as building the turbines, the project required the completion of over 13.5km of access tracks, built with locally sourced rock. The concrete for the turbine bases was also produced on site to limit environmental impact. The wind farm began full production in March 2016.

Ardrossan Wind Farm is an impressive sight, sitting high above the town of Ardrossan on the Ayrshire coast and is noted for its very favourable wind resources. Ardrossan comprises 15 wind turbines each rated at 2MW with an overall site capacity of 30MW. 12 wind turbines began commercial operations in August 2004 and the wind farm was extended with the addition of three further turbines in 2009.

North Ayrshire council have approved two planning applications to extend operations at Ardrossan by an additional 10 years.

The Assel Valley wind farm consists of 10 turbines and is located 5 kilometres from Girvan, South Ayrshire. It has been operational since 2017. Funding from Assel Valley is administered by Foundation Scotland.

The Auchrobert wind farm is located 15 miles south of Glasgow and 3.5 miles south-east of Strathaven and has been operational since 2017. Funding from Auchrobert is administered by Foundation Scotland and South Lanarkshire Renewable Energy Fund.

Bears Down Wind Farm is located in Cornwall approximately 1.5km south east of the village of St Eval. The wind farm opened in September 2001 and straddles the boundary of North Cornwall and Restormel District Councils with the turbines occupying the area from Denzell Downs in the south to Bears Downs reservoir in the north. The eastern boundary is demarcated by the Mawgan in Pydar parish limits. Its 16 turbines are rated at 600kW and have the capacity to generate 9.6MW of power.

Beinn Ghlas Wind Farm is situated amongst the hills of the Barguillean Estate near Taynuilt in Argyll. The site‘s 14 turbines sit within an area of grazing land and began commercial operations in May 1999. The 14 Siemens Bonus turbines are rated at 600kW giving the wind farm an installed capacity of 8.4MW.

The current operational wind farm has the potential to operate safely and efficiently for significantly longer than was originally intended, as set out in the life extension application which was consented in 2022.

Nadara has now submitted a planning application to replace the existing wind turbines at Beinn Ghlas with more modern, higher producing machines. The planning application has been validated by Argyll and Bute Council, planning reference 25/01240/PP.

Nadara is developing the 1.8GW Bellrock floating offshore wind farm located off the coast of Aberdeen as part of the ScotWind offshore wind leasing round.

Ben Aketil Wind Farm is 11 miles west of the town of Portree on the Isle of Skye and has been operational since 2008. Funding from Ben Aketil is administered by the Dunvegan Trust and benefits community organisations in the local area.

Situated close to Crow Edge near the town of Penistone in South Yorkshire, Blackstone Edge Wind Farm became fully operational in March 2013. Its three turbines have an installed capacity of 7.5MW and they're located on land that's currently used for pastoral farming, although the local area was historically associated with coal and clay mining. With a summit peaking at 349m, Blackstone Edge is ideally situated to capture the winds that blow across the Pennines, and the three turbines generate enough electricity to power an estimated 6,188 homes. Construction at Blackstone Edge Wind Farm began in July 2012 and the development took nine months to complete.

The Boyndie wind farm is located on a former World War II airfield just over a mile inland from the north coast of Aberdeenshire, between Portsoy and Banff and has been operational since 2006. Funding from Boyndie is administered by Whitehills and District Community Council and benefits community organisations in the local area.

Nadara is developing the 900MW Broadshore floating offshore wind farm located north of Fraserburgh as part of the ScotWind offshore wind leasing round.

Bryn Titli Wind Farm is sited on a plateau just to the north of a Site of Special Scientific Interest between Rhayader and Llangurig, Powys. This was a major factor in the environmental assessment of the project and care was taken in the planning phase to avoid areas of ecological interest and to minimise the effects on the local environment. The wind farm has proven to be in an excellent location for renewable energy generation and continues to operate well and planning was therefore submitted to extend its operational life until 2027 with a further 12 months to allow decommissioning and restoration of the site until June 2028.

Causeymire Wind Farm is the most northerly site in Nadara's UK portfolio, located 15 miles west-northwest of the town of Wick next to the A9 main road on the way to Thurso. The wind farm is situated on Dale Moss, a large area of peatland commanding views across the wilderness of the Flow Country to Morven, the highest point in Caithness. The land below the turbines is also used for grazing cattle. Its 21 turbines are rated at 2.3MW and the site has an installed capacity of 48.3MW, generating enough energy to power 39,853 homes.

Cefn Croes Wind Farm consists of 39 turbines and is located near Devils Bridge, 15km east of Aberystwyth, Wales. It has been operational since 2005. Funding from Cefn Croes is administered by the Cefn Croes Wind Farm Community Trust.

Dalswinton Wind Farm is around nine miles north of the town of Dumfries near the village of Dalswinton, Scotland. The wind farm comprises 15 wind turbines each rated at 2MW with an overall site capacity of 30MW, and has been operational since June 2008.

Dumfries and Galloway Council have approved a planning application to extend the planning consent for Dalswinton Wind Farm by an additional 10 years.

Earlsburn Wind Farm consists of 15 turbines and is located in the Gargunnock Hills to the southwest of Stirling. It has been operational since 2007. Funding from Earlsburn is administered by Foundation Scotland and benefits organisations in the local area.

Naturalis Energy Development Ltd, a joint venture between Nadara and Reg Power Management Ltd are experienced renewable energy developers and have been undertaking studies for a windfarm located approximately 2.2 km (4 km to the centre of the Site) due south of the village of Gargunnock, Stirling. The project would form an extension to the existing Earlsburn Wind Farm.

Farr Wind Farm is around 8 miles south of the city of Inverness and has enough capacity to power 20% of the homes in the Highlands. The current planning consent will expire in December 2030. As a result of assessment work which has been undertaken in relation to Nadara's fleet of operational wind turbines and their ability to operate for longer than was originally envisaged, there is an opportunity for Farr Wind Farm to continue to generate clean electricity beyond the current consent expiry date.

Ffynnon Oer Wind Farm is located between the Afan and Neath Valleys in South Wales, approximately 10km east of the town of Neath, in the County of Mid Glamorgan. The 16 turbines are situated on a hill top site which is around 400m above sea level.

Nadara has submitted a planning application to Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council seeking planning permission to extend the operational life of the Ffynnon Oer Wind Farm for an additional 10 years. No changes are proposed to the wind farm infrastructure. The application is purely to seek consent to operate the current wind farm for a longer period of time.

Galawhistle Wind Farm is located on rough grazing land 4km west of the village of Douglas in South Lanarkshire. The wind farm comprises 22 wind turbines each rated at 3MW with an overall site capacity of 66MW, and has been operational since March 2017.

South Lanarkshire and East Ayrshire Council have approved a planning application to extend the planning consent for Galawhistle Wind Farm by an additional 10 years.
