SUCCESSFUL CONSENT
MID HILL II WIND FARM
Fred. Olsen Renewables (FOR) announced recently that Mid Hill II Wind Farm has been granted consent.
When complete, this will allow the site to fully utilise the 75 MW grid connection and generate enough electricity to power over 38,500 homes.
EXISTING WIND FARM The existing 25 turbine Mid Hill Wind Farm is located mainly on forestry land in Fetteresso Forest, near Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire. Mid Hill II will be located adjacent to this site and will consist of up to 9 x 2.3MW Siemens turbines.
CURRENT PORTFOLIO Fred. Olsen Renewables currently has an onshore wind operational portfolio of over 428MW, of which 357 MW is in Scotland equivalent to 8% of the country’s total onshore installed wind capacity or 5% of the UK’s total onshore installed wind capacity. A further 112MW of onshore wind plant is either under construction or due to shortly enter construction in the UK.
OVERALL STRATEGY The company’s overall strategy is to participate in projects from an early stage. The company is involved in site selection, planning and construction and aims to operate the projects over their lifetime. The approach is based on a successfully demonstrated full lifecycle principle.
David Brunt, CEO at Fred. Olsen Renewables, said: “We are very pleased to confirm that Mid Hill II Wind Farm has been successfully consented. Mid Hill and Mid Hill II provide a combined installed capacity of over 75 MW, helping to meet the Scotland’s ambitious renewable energy targets. This brings the combined capacity of projects developed by Fred. Olsen Renewables in the north-east of Scotland to over 230 MW and affirms our position as the UK’s leading independent renewable power producer. We look forward to working with stakeholders and local communities to ensure that the benefits associated with these projects have a positive impact through mechanisms such as the already established community benefit funds.”
