Kincraig Solar Farm

Producing clean energy for the future

This solar farm will cover approximately 36 hectares of land and generate 21 MW of electricity, powering up to 6000 homes with clean energy. Construction of the solar farm will involve the installation of photovoltaic (PV) panels, which convert sunlight directly into renewable electricity which, once operational, will have a lifespan of up to forty years.

Displacing Carbon Emissions

Over the 40-year lifespan of the project, Kincraig Solar Farm will displace an estimated 380,000 tonnes of CO2 from fossil fuel sources.

Our proposals for Enhancing Biodiversity in the Local Environment

Our proposals involve the creation of new habitats, offering food and shelter to local wildlife. We will continue to develop our plans throughout the build as the site becomes part of the landscape and we welcome local knowledge and input from the community.
