About Scoop Hill Community Wind Farm

Scoop Hill Community Wind Farm is located in Dumfries and Galloway, approximately 5km south east of Moffat.

Following the submission of the Section 36 planning application in November 2020, Community Windpower have now submitted Additional Information for Scoop Hill Community Wind Farm following its redesign.

Extensive and iterative discussions with consultees and the local community have taken place, which have led to a number of revisions to the proposed development. Initially submitted as a 75-turbine scheme, Scoop Hill Community Wind Farm will now consist of 60 turbines and a battery storage facility. This removal of 15 turbines is equivalent to a reduction of 20% of the original proposal. The changes to the proposed development also include a reduction in the tip heights of four turbines to the south of the scheme.

Public exhibitions for the revised proposal were held in August 2023, if you were unable to attend any of these events, please visit our online virtual exhibition.
