Gordonbush Extension Wind Farm is generating first power just weeks after the delivery of the eleven Siemens Gamesa wind turbines to site was completed.
Situated 10 kilometres north east of Brora in Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands, the first four turbines started turning this week and generating power. When fully complete Gordonbush Extension, which is being constructed by SSE Renewables, will generate 38MW of wind-powered electricity. The development is the first to be built by SSE Renewables on a merchant basis, which means no subsidies or CfD support were used to finance the project.
