Why Corriemoillie?

The Corriemoillie site was identified following a rigorous site search which identified the most appropriate sites for wind farms in the Highlands.

The site layout has been designed to minimise any potential visual impact whilst remaining technically feasible and capable of satisfying all the constraints from various interests.

The Corriemoillie Wind Farm would:

• Provide over 21,000 homes' annual electricity needs, almost 75% of homes in Inverness.
• Save carbon dioxide emissions   equivalent to taking   over 50,000 cars of the road  
• Contribute to the Scottish Executive Renewable Energy Targets (40% by 2020).
• Reduce reliance on finite and imported energy sources.
• Deliver significant value into the regional economy over the project lifetime.
• Provide a community fund worth over £1.2m over the project's 25 year lifetime.

Community Engagement

Public exhibitions were held in Garve during November 2005, where details of the proposal were on display with E.ON staff on hand to answer questions and provide further information.
