Minnygap Wind Farm is a 10-turbine wind farm in Dumfries and Galloway which became fully operational in Spring 2017.
The wind farm has an installed capacity of 25MW of renewable electricity. This is sufficient to meet the annual average needs of approximately 16,000 UK homes.*
It also delivers direct community benefits to local people in the form of a £200 index-linked annual electricity discount for properties closest to the turbines, plus a Community Fund of £50,000 index-linked each year to support local projects.
* Based on Ofgem's estimate of typical household electricity consumption (2,700KWh).
