The first four turbines of the Gordonbush Extension started turning this week, with SSE Renewables predicting that that farm will generate 38MW of wind-powered electricity.
Situated 10km north east of Brora in Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands, the development is the first to be built by SSE Renewables on a merchant basis, which means no subsidies or CfD support were used to finance the project.
Gordonbush Extension is scheduled to be fully operational in mid-2021. The project is situated beside SSE Renewables’ 71.75MW operational Gordonbush Wind Farm, which was first commissioned in 2012.
