NBW Wind Energy will develop the wind farm, which will feature 23 turbines and have a generating capacity of up to 70MW.
The wind project will replace the existing planning permission granted to the company by Highland Council at the same site, featuring 20 turbines totaling 50MW.
Expected to power 33,000 homes, the Corriegarth wind farm construction phase would create 245 jobs.
Scotland Energy minister Fergus Ewing: "The Corriegarth Wind Farm will create a number of jobs, as well as generating power for many thousands of homes and provide considerable benefits to the local community.
"The Scottish Government wants to see the right developments in the right places, and Scottish planning policy is clear that the design and location of renewables projects should reflect the scale and character of the landscape, as well as being considered environmentally acceptable.
"We remain committed to growing renewables and the latest statistics – published this week – show we have almost met our 50 per cent renewable electricity target a year ahead of schedule."
