Vattenfall has entered a partnership with Greencoat UK Wind, who will acquire the wind farm following its completion. Located 5km to the east of Dalmellington and between East Ayrshire and Dumfries and Galloway, South Kyle will be Vattenfall’s largest onshore wind farm in the UK.

Greencoat UK Wind is a renewable infrastructure fund, providing investors with the opportunity to participate in the ownership of UK wind farms.

Construction for the wind farm will begin once it is appropriate to do so given the current situation. Vattenfall will construct the wind farm and will manage the asset on behalf of Greencoat for a minimum of 10 years. It will also purchase the power for a period of 15 years.

A timeline for construction is yet to be confirmed. Vattenfall is continuously monitoring precautions concerning COVID-19 and currently plan for the wind farm to be operational Q1 2023. Once constructed, the 50 turbine wind farm will have a maximum capacity of 240MW.
