How the scheme has been improved
In November 2005 an application under section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 was submitted to the Scottish Executive. The application at that time was for 43 x 3MW turbines with a total output of 129MW. The hub height was 80 metres with a maximum blade tip height of 125 metres.

This original scheme has been the subject of extensive consultation with a wide range of organisations including Highland Council and Scottish Natural Heritage. In addition representations made by community members have been assessed. As a result an amended application has been submitted to the Scottish Executive.

The wind farm is now reduced from 43 to 22 turbines in order to minimise visual impact in the immediate area and to provide the opportunity to connect to the existing Mossford to Beauly 132 kV line
