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

CWP Energy is building the 44-turbine Sanquhar Wind Farm, 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 has now confirmed that blade lifter deliveries are scheduled to begin on Monday, June 8.

According to the company, the convoy is due to depart from the transfer area north of New Cumnock at 9:30am, before travelling through New Cumnock along the A76 towards Kirkconnel.

The convoy will then turn right down the C125n and travel to the site entrance.

Delivery schedules may change at short notice due to weather conditions.

The first delivery of tower sections was completed in March.
