Project Description

Bunloinn Wind Farm is located approximately 14.5km north-west of Invergarry in the Highlands. Theย proposed development consists of up to 10 turbines up to 200m in tip height and associated infrastructure. Tip heights across the scheme have been reduced from a mix of 200m and 230m in consultation with Highland Council. The proposed development was assessed as part of Environmental Impact Assessment and a submission of an application under the Electricity Act 1989 was submitted to Scottish Ministers in March 2022.

A description of the proposed development can be found in the Non-Technical Summary (NTS) which is available to view on this page.

Following the introduction of the Electricity Works (Miscellaneous Temporary Modifications) (Coronavirus) (Scotland) Regulations 2020 on the 24th of April 2020, the amendment allowed a temporary relaxation to the requirement to provide hardcopies of the EIAR for public inspection. However, copies of the full EIA Report and its associated standalone documents can be found on the Energy Consents Unit website with details on how to view these documents set out below.

Alternatively, the Project Manager can be contacted, as appropriate. There is no charge for provision of electronic documents or hard copies of the Non-Technical Summary on request. The Project Manager is available to discuss the project viaย lauren.mallon@energiekontor.com

Project Update

The application for the proposed development was submitted in March 2022. The application documentation relating to the above proposal is available to view on the ECU website at www.energyconsents.scot by:

โ€“ clicking on the Search tab; then,
โ€“ clicking on the Simple Search tab then typing Bunloinn into the Search by Project Name box then clicking Go; then,
โ€“ clicking on ECU00003304 and then clicking on the Documents tab then clicking the Application Documents tab.

On the 28th ofย  March 2024, Bunloinn was granted consent by Scottish Ministers.
