Plans for a 12-turbine wind farm in the north Highlands have been welcomed by the local community council, which sees it as a way of funding vital infrastructure projects.
Developer Stratkraft has submitted an application to Highland Council for the proposed Ackron Wind Farm, near Melvich, which will have 492 ft towers and a capacity of up to 49.9MW.
Statkraft says it will generate community benefit funding of about £240,000 a year, equating to more than £7.2 million over the project’s 30 year operating period.
