The wind farm would be located on rough grazing land east of Alexandria and about 20 km to the north-west of Glasgow City Centre. The site lies within an ‘Area with Potential for Wind Energy Development’ (as mapped out by West Dunbartonshire Council) and benefits from good wind speeds, good access links and close proximity to the grid. It is also close to a large potential consumer base in the Clyde Valley.
We are proposing a wind farm comprising up to 10 of the latest generation, highly efficient wind turbines. Each of these would have a tower height of up to 134 m and tip height of up to 220m. The wind turbines would be connected by new tracks made of locally sourced crushed stone and the main access would come off the A813 (close to the Aggreko facility). 20MW of battery energy storage capacity would also be included as part of the onsite electricity substation.
