In 2022, the First Minister at the time, Nicola Sturgeon, officially marked the connection of the UK’s first 200m turbine at Kype Muir Extension, recognising it as a key moment for Scotland’s renewable energy industry. Gordon Thomson, projects director at OnPath Energy said: “The official launch of Kype Muir Extension is a major milestone for all involved in this project.
The estimated lifetime regional spend from the first Kype Muir Wind Farm alone is expected to be around £123M and, and as part of OnPath’s commitment to local businesses, local contractors were prioritised in the same way when developing Kype Muir Extension Wind Farm. The event featured a plaque unveiling at the site as well as the winners of a local school turbine naming competition.
