Culachy Wind Farm Community Update

We hope that we will be able to submit our application to the Scottish Government for permission to develop Culachy Wind Farm, located on the Culachy Estate south of Fort Augustus, in the near future.

Our plans have changed as a result of the feedback we have gathered as part of our consul tation process. The plans now consist of eight wind turbines up to 200m to tip, capable of generating up to 57MW of clean electricity and providing more than £9million in community funding throughout the lifetime of the project.

Culachy Wind Farm will be able to support community projects and we hope to work with local residents to identify initiatives that will benefit from this funding. If you have any ideas or questions about the community benefit fund, please contact communities@ fredolsen.com or visit www. culachywind.co.uk
