Boralex welcomes approval of 189 MW Clashindarroch wind farm extension

Boralex (BRLXF) welcomes Scottish Ministers’ approval of its plans for Clashindarroch Wind Farm Extension near Dufftown in Moray. The approved project, located west of the operational Clashindarroch Wind Farm, will consist of up to 21 wind turbines and a 50-megawatt battery storage facility, contributing up to 189 MW to Scotland’s renewable energy targets. Esbjorn Wilmar, Vice President, United Kingdom, commented: “Our company is strongly committed to long-term investment in Scotland as part of our 2030 Strategy, underpinned by a shared desire for an energy transition that prioritises local economic prosperity. This can be seen in the first project in our Scottish portfolio, Limekiln Wind Farm near Thurso, which represents GBP 29.5M of construction expenditure in the Scottish economy, of which GBP 8.4M was spent locally in Caithness.”
