Corriemoillie Wind Farm Proposal: update from E.ON

At the beginning of July, E.ON held two public exhibitions in Garve and Achnasheen, to inform local people about its plans to build a wind farm at Corriemoillie Forest.

Following feedback from local people at the exhibition E.ON has now made a number of changes to its proposal, including the relocation of a number of turbines taking into account local opinion. The application is due to be submitted to the local council later this year.

The current turbine lay out of both Corriemoillie and the nearby consented Lochluichart wind farm projects are represented on this map.

 Please do note that the final layout for our project (Corriemoillie) may change slightly and will be available upon our planning submission.

If planning permission is granted for the site, EON has committed to giving the local community £2.7 million over the windfarm’s expected 25 year life. The community fund will be held by an independent body and given to projects that will benefit their community.  

On submission of the planning application at end of November, copies will be publicly available for download from the Corriemoillie website. Hard copies can be viewed at The Highland Council Offices.

For those wishing to support or raise a concern to the development, please submit comments to:
