Search the Public Notice PortalTHE first delivery of tower sections for one of the largest onshore wind farms in the UK has recently been completed.
CWP Energy confirmed that the first sections for Sanquhar II Wind Farm have now been successfully delivered to site, marking a major milestone in the construction of the fourth-largest development in the UK.
Comprising 44 turbines, the project will utilise Vestas’ Enventus platform, featuring the V162 turbine with a power rating of up to 6.2MW, the first of its kind to be installed in Scotland.
Throughout its lifespan, Sanquhar II represents an investment of approximately £400 million into the UK economy.
The tower components completed their journey from King George V Docks in Glasgow, where they were received and prepared for onward transportation to Dumfries and Galloway.
Their safe arrival signals the transition of the project into its next phase, as construction activity accelerates.
Rod Wood, managing director, CWP Energy, said: “This is an extremely exciting step forward for this project.
"Onshore wind projects, like Sanquhar II generating electricity for 335,000 homes, help protect the UK from the vulnerability of global gas price spikes which we are seeing with the doubling of gas costs.
"An overspend of £90Bn has occurred since the start of the Ukraine war, that's an additional cost of £1,300 for every person in this country.
"The UK Government must go for growth, upgrade the grid and stop blocking new projects.”
