Glenmarkie – Vattenfall

Extracted from the Developers Website on 18 Mar 26. Caution: This may be subject to change/currency.

Glenmarkie Wind Farm Proposal

Vattenfall is in the early stages of exploring a potential wind farm proposal at Glenmarkie in the Scottish Highlands.

The site lies approximately 16km east of the village of Fort Augustus and 8km south-east from the settlement of Whitebridge.

Consulting on the early design

In November we held a series of public exhibitions to engage with the community on the early scoping design and gather views on the proposal. The events were advertised in the local newspapers and we also wrote out to over 2,000 local households to help raise awareness of the events.

We are now in the process of reviewing the feedback responses received and considering these in relation to the development of the design and further survey work that we’ll be undertaking over the coming year.

You can reach the Glenmarkie Wind Farm project team at the following email address glenmarkie.windfarm@vattenfall.com or by writing to: Glenmarkie Wind Farm Project Team, Vattenfall Wind Power Ltd. St. Andrews House, Haugh Lane, Hexham NE46 3QQ

The exhibition information presented at our November events is available to view via our virtual village hall click to view

Scoping Report

In September 2025 we submitted a Scoping Report to the Scottish Government’s Energy Consents Unit (ECU) seeking feedback on the proposed scope of environmental site survey work which will help inform the design. The Scoping Report sets out an early design layout, comprising of up to 65 turbines with tip heights of up to 250m.

Community Consultation will be ongoing at intervals.  In the interim please visit the Developer’s website for full updates and details, using the links above.

BE INFORMED | STAY INFORMED Why should I engage or attend? Getting involved ahead of a full submission to the Planning Authority and Energy Consents Unit (ECU) is the most influential stage of a major energy infrastructure project.  If the local community looks to have a greater say, and influence conditions or design, this is one of the key times to engage in the development. All welcome.
