Construction of the seven turbine, West Benhar Wind Farm in North Lanarkshire, Scotland, will get underway on Monday 1 March.
It comes after the project team secured planning consent for some design changes in September last year. These include an increased blade tip height, from 138.5 m to 149.9 m which will allow for greater electricity generation, and an increased operational life from 25 years to 30.
Planning permission allows for the installation of eight turbines, but EDF Renewables (EDFR) will only build seven turbines. This is down to advances in turbine technology, so fewer are needed to fulfil the generating requirements of the site.
