Award of Clyde Wind Farm

Windhoist have recently been awarded the contract to supply Siemens Wind Power with a wind turbine erection package to erect 152 x 2.3mw on Clyde Wind Farm near Abington, South Lanarkshire, Scotland.  When completed it will have a total capacity of up to 349.6 Megawatts (MW) and will be Europe's largest onshore wind farm. At present, the largest consented windfarm in Scotland is Whitelee, on Eaglesham Moor, south of Glasgow, which is currently under construction and will have a total capacity of 322MW. Currently the biggest operational windfarm in Europe is the Maranchon windfarm in Guadalajara, Spain which has a generating capacity of 208 MW.
 

We at Windhoist are delighted to have been awarded this contract as it cements our place as one of the world's leading wind turbine installation contractors. We feel that our mutually positive and professional working relationship with Siemens Wind Power has been hugely beneficial in securing this project. Siemens Wind Power's experience of our working practices and the capabilities of our Liebherr LTM11200 on a number of recent projects in France has also been a major help.
