The wind farm, being developed by North British Windpower, consists of 20 2.5MW turbines. Total capacity will be around 50MW. The promoters say the project will be capable of offsetting 110,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide and will generate enough electricity to power 28% of all the households in the Highland Council area.
