Fred Olsen Renewables has unveiled plans for a 158MW wind farm, including a 30MW battery storage system, in Invercassley, Scotland. The proposed Invercassley Wind Farm will consist of up to 22 turbines, each potentially reaching a height of 230 meters.
The project, located five kilometers northwest of Rosehall in Sutherland, is expected to generate a community benefit fund worth over £25 million (index linked) during its operational lifetime.
The company has announced a public consultation process, inviting local residents to provide feedback on the proposal. The first consultation events will be held on February 24 and 25, with representatives available to answer questions and gather input.
Laura Bell, project manager at Fred Olsen Renewables, commented: “We are excited to launch our proposals to develop Invercassley Wind Farm and start a conversation with the local community. This project has the potential to make a significant contribution to Scotland's net zero targets – delivering over 158MW of clean electricity and providing a substantial community benefit fund.
Bell added: “This is the beginning of our consultation process, and we look forward to speaking with residents and community groups about our plans, sharing ideas, and gathering feedback. We encourage everyone to take part or get in touch to have their questions answered.
