Summary
ScottishPower is set to revolutionize the UK’s largest onshore wind farm, Whitelee, with a £1.5 billion upgrade that will double its output to 1 gigawatt—powering 650,000 homes. The project replaces 215 aging turbines with 124 larger, more efficient ones, injecting £330 million into Scotland’s economy and creating hundreds of jobs. This “repowering” strategy extends clean energy production beyond the current turbines’ lifespan, while also offering potential community ownership and financial benefits. Plans are submitted for approval, with construction expected to begin by 2035—critical for meeting the UK’s growing renewable energy needs.
