Airtricity submits planning application for wind farm

Airtricity has applied for consent to build a GBP 50 million, 25 turbine wind farm in Sutherland. The proposed wind farm is located to the north west of Invercassley and Rosehall, approximately 12km to the west of Lairg in the north of Scotland.  The site occupies an area of approximately 2731 hectares, of which just over 1% will be required for the infrastructure itself. The proposed wind farm will mitigate approximately 113,000 tonnes of C02 per annum.
