The wind farm’s capacity will be between 22MW and 27MW, depending on turbine selection. Novera is also pursuing a portfolio of other wind development opportunities to deliver its 250MW target for wind by 2011.
Novera submitted the planning application to the Scottish Borders Council in December 2007. The wind farm site is reportedly well elevated, remote from residential properties and currently comprises sheep-grazing, rough pasture and heather moorland.
Novera has accepted an offer from ScottishPower to provide a connection to the grid from Glenkerie. In addition, the company is in discussions with several turbine suppliers to provide wind turbines for Glenkerie and other sites in its portfolio. On this basis, the company expects to start construction in 2009 and production in 2010.
