Project Overview

After the Scottish Ministers’ decision not to consent Lewis Wind Power’s original wind farm proposal, the Scottish Government commissioned Halcrow to identify economic development opportunities, including those from renewable energy, in the Outer Hebrides. Lewis Wind Power and the Stornoway Trust (one of Scotland’s oldest and largest community owned estate) are exploring how to take forward Halcrow’s recommendations, which outlined an area suitable for wind farm development. The area is located on the Stornoway Trust’s estate, south and west of Stornoway. Full consultation with local people and stakeholders will be made before any proposals are brought forward.
