Lordscairnie
1 turbine | 45.7m to blade tip | 225kW
Lordscairnie was developed in partnership with Temporis Wind and granted planning permission in April 2012.
Lomond Energy managed the project from feasibility, through design & planning application to permission, prior to handing over to Temporis Wind for financing and construction.
During the planning application phase an SNH (now NatureScot) objection in regard to wintering geese was overcome through the commissioning of a winter bird survey which demonstrated that the turbine would not present any significant risk to the geese.
