Tormywheel originally received consent in 2007. The original developer did not progress the development of the site due to aviation challenges associated with Edinburgh Airport’s radar system. Muirhall Energy did not consider this a challenge and acquired Tormywheel in 2015. The project became operational in 2017 by securing the introduction of the first Terma Radar in Scotland.
The solution reached has not only enabled the development of Tormywheel, but has proved pivotal for the industry by unlocking access to the central belt of Scotland for onshore wind development.
