Muirhall Energy currently has planning permission to erect 8 wind turbines at 149.9m, and 3 turbines at 145m to tip at the site known as Glen Ullinish Wind Farm. The site is 1,800m southeast of Balmeanach Struan, in the northwest of Skye.
On 31st July 2023 Muirhall Energy submitted an application for Section 36 Consent for 47 turbines at 200m to tip, known as Glen Ullinish II Wind Farm. If consented, this project would replace Glen Ullinish Wind Farm. As part of the Section 36 application, it is proposed to deliver turbine components from Kyle Harbour. Delivery from Kyle Harbour to the wind farm would be via the A87 and A863. As part of the consultation events for Glen Ullinish II Wind Farm, concerns have been raised about the impact of deliveries on the local road network on local communities, businesses, tourism and emergency services.
Muirhall Energy is proposing to construct a new quay on the eastern shoreline of Loch Caroy to accommodate the delivery of turbine components closer to the Wind Farm Site Access. This would reduce the delivery route on the public road network from 40 miles to 2 miles.
An Environmental Impact Assessment Scoping Report has been submitted to the Highland Council and Marine Scotland, which can be found by clicking the link button below:
A Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) has also been submitted to the Highland Council which outlines Muirhall Energy’s intention to submit a planning application for the quay. As part of the planning process, Muirhall Energy will be undertaking a series of public consultation events.
