Dunbeath ~ Dunbeath, Highlands
Planning Application was originally submitted in August 2005, with the Supplementary Information submitted in October 2006. A Technical Addendum was finalised for submission in August 2007.

Cushnie ~ Aberdeenshire, Scotland
The site is situated approximately 47km West of Aberdeen. With ongoing enviromental studies the farm hopes to consist of a maximum of 7 wind turbines.

The site is situated 32km north east of Inveness. The planning application was submitted in January 2008. If successful the wind farm will consist of 5 Turbines.

Falck Renewables, a wind energy subsidiary of the Falck Group, is developing over 300MW of wind projects with RDC Scotland Limited (RDC) utilising the resources of West Coast Energy. For further information on these projects please visit www.wind4energy.co.uk

The planning application was submitted in August 2010. If successful the wind farm will consist of 3 turbines.

Cartland Muir Community Wind Co-operative ~ Carluke, South Lanarkshire

The proposed site is in the Cartland Muir plantation, 3KM South West of Carluke town centre. The Community Wind Co-operative will consist of two commercial wind turbines. The turbine hubs would be at a height of 80m with blades around 40m long creating an installed capacity of approximately 5MW of green energy - enough to power 3,000 homes for a year which is around half of all the homes in Carluke.

Mosscastle Community Wind Co-operative ~ Crawfordjohn, South Lanarkshire

The proposed site is located approximately 4KM West from the village of Crawfordjohn. The current proposal is for two commercial wind turbines with hubs at 85m and blades around 35m long, creating an installed capacity of approximately 5MW of green energy - enough to power 2,600 homes a year or, according to the national statistics, approximately all the homes within a 25KM radius. If each one of those homes were to invest £1,250 each, they would own the entire project and generate enough renewable energy for the next 20 years.
