The Project
The Stornoway Wind Farm Project is designed to harness the excellent wind resource to the west of Stornoway.
Working in partnership with The Stornoway Trust, which has been considering community-influenced renewable energy projects for a number of years, we believe that our project is taking the right steps to deliver a publicly acceptable, income-generating scheme to the Isle of Lewis.
We value your local knowledge and want to understand what is important to you, so please take this opportunity to talk with us and tell us your views. David Morrison is our local Community Consultation Coordinator and you can find his details on the Contacts page.
We are looking to balance renewable energy production with environmental impact, ensuring that the needs of the stakeholders and other interested parties within the local community will be accommodated. At the present time we are considering a scheme of up to 42 turbines with a maximum generating capacity of 151.2MW. The wind farm layout has now been finalised and you can view the PDF of the proposed wind farm location under the Project Information page. We have also added an interactive map which you can find under Photomontages on the same page.
Non Technical Summary
As part of our Section 36 Planning Application to the Scottish Government, we have produced a Non Technical Summary which outlines the findings of the Environmental Statement. Both an English and Gaelic version of the Non Technical Summary are available for download below.
