Glentarken Wind Farm

We are currently progressing proposals for the development of a wind farm on the Drummond Estate, located between St Fillans and Lochearnhead in Perthshire.

A Section 36 Application was submitted to Scottish Ministers, along with the completed EIAR late 2024 and validated in January 2025. Documents for this application can be found in the links below.

Final design plans for Glentarken Wind Farm include up to 12 turbines with a maximum tip height of up to 180m, as well as ancillary infrastructure such as access tracks, turbine foundations and crane hardstandings at each turbine, construction compounds, onsite substation, operational building, batching plant and borrow pits. A battery energy storage solution (BESS) is also being proposed to optimise the renewable energy generation capacity at the site.

The proposed turbine locations at the site are located within the Perth and Kinross local authority area. The proposed access route to the site will be from the A85, which is located within the Stirling local authority area.

Project status

The Energy Consents Unit (ECU) has requested the submission of supplementary information in relation to five updated photomontages for the following viewpoints:

Also included, is an updated site layout plan reflecting to the removal of Borrow Pits 4, 5 and 6 from the site layout due to the presence of new woodland planting.

Next stage

The supplementary information will be able to be viewed locally for 30 days in conjunction with the original application documents. All documents will also be available to view on the project website and on the ECU website. Information with links and addresses can be found in the Public Notice below:

Public Notice

Following the submission of the additional information, any representations to the application may be submitted to the Scottish Ministers via the Scottish Government Energy Consents Unit, by email to representations@gov.scot; or by post to Scottish Government Energy Consents Unit, 4th Floor, 5 Atlantic Quay, 150 Broomielaw, Glasgow, G2 8LU, identifying the proposed Development and specifying the grounds for representation. Written or emailed representations should be dated, clearly stating the name (in block capitals) and full return email and postal address of those making representations. Only representations sent by email to representations@gov.scot will receive acknowledgement.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone again for engaging with us during the development phase of this project and for listening and sharing thoughts and opinions. This information and engagement is extremely important to us, and will continue to be so, as we progress this project.

Following examination of the environmental information, the Scottish Ministers will determine the application for consent in one of two ways:

  • Consent the proposed Development with or without conditions attached; or

  • Reject the proposed Development.
