RES expects the development will create more than £3.9 million of inward investment for the local economy during the wind farm’s construction and first year of operation. This is in addition to the £6.3 million invested in the local economy by RES in the last 18 months during the construction of Freasdail Wind Farm, near Tarbert.
Simon Peltenburg, Head of Projects – Scotland said: “RES has worked hard to ensure our projects on Kintyre have focused on delivering investment into the local economy and utilised the local supply chain.We are delighted to have received a positive decision on Blary Hill and look forward maximising the local investment during construction.”
