A MILESTONE was reached at a planned 44-turbine wind farm near Sanquhar recently.
Jones Bros Civil Engineering UK confirmed that the final concrete pour for the last of Sanquhar II Wind Farm's 44 turbine foundations had been completed, with every turbine base delivered on time and on budget, having started this phase of the project last October.
Throughout its lifespan, Sanquhar II represents an investment of approximately £400 million into the UK economy.
The firm says this achievement is a credit to the hard work and commitment of the site teams, project partners and supply chain, as the wind farm moves one step closer to completion.
David Nicolson, senior contracts manager at Jones Bros Civil Engineering UK, said: "Completing all 44 turbine foundations on time and on budget is a tremendous achievement and one that everyone involved should be proud of.
"It's been a real team effort and demonstrates the expertise and dedication of those working across the project."
The CWP Energy-led development will be one of the largest onshore wind farms in the UK.
Construction started at the site back in August 2024, with first power generation from the wind farm in south west Scotland expected sometime in 2027.
Rod Wood MBE, managing director of CWP Energy Limited, added: "Reaching the final concrete pour is a significant milestone for the Sanquhar II Wind Farm project.
"With 44 turbine foundations now completed, it is testament to the hard work, expertise and collaboration of everyone involved.
"We'd like to thank Jones Bros and all our project partners for their commitment in helping bring this important renewable energy project a step closer to completion."
