BLADE deliveries for one of the largest onshore wind farms in the UK could begin next week.

CWP Energy has confirmed that the next sections for Sanquhar II Wind Farm will commence from the "beginning of June".

The first delivery of tower sections was completed in March.

Comprising of 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.

The company says that, from port to the transfer area in New Cumnock, blades will be transported on a standard trailer, with these deliveries taking place at night.

In agreement with the neighbouring East Ayrshire Council and Dumfries and Galloway Council, the first two weeks of movements will take place during the day, between 9.30am and 3pm.

Following this period, deliveries will move to evenings, departing the transfer point from 6.30pm onwards.
