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 was the subject of extensive consultation with a wide range of organizations including The Highland Council and Scottish Natural Heritage. In addition representations made by community members were assessed. As a result an amended application was submitted to the Scottish Executive for 66MW.

The wind farm was eventually reduced to 17 turbines in order to further minimise visual impact in the immediate area and to provide the opportunity to connect to the existing Mossford to Beauly 132 kV line. The 17 turbine scheme was consented by Scottish Government on the 22nd December 2008.

The project will now have an output of approximately 51MW, enough electricity for approximately 28,500 homes.

Over the 25 year life of the wind farm it is estimated that over 1,400,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide, 33,000 tonnes of sulphur dioxide and 10,000 tonnes of nitrogen oxide will be saved compared to a mix of national grid electricity generation sources.

The turbines will be a maximum of 125 metres high to the tip of the blades with a maximum hub height of 80 metres. In addition to the wind turbines the wind farm will include an electrical substation, wind monitoring mast and access tracks.
