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.
