Public to get up close with wind farm plans

- With Stuart Wilson

The Benbrack wind farm project is to host two ‘meet the developer’ events next month in Dalmelling­ton and St John’s Town of Dalry.

Red Rock Power, along with the developmen­t’s tier one suppliers, will outline potential opportunit­ies available to the local supply chain and calls on businesses to express their interest.

Events will be held in person and online on the following days:

St John’s Town of Dalry – Wednesday, May, 4 from 2pm – 7pm at Dalry Town Hall.

Dalmelling­ton – Thursday, May 5, 11am-4pm at The Eglinton Hotel.

Online – Tuesday, May 10 – 11am12pm.

The wind farm, located 6km from Carsphairn, is preparing for the start of onsite works which are anticipate­d to commence in July.

Benbrack’s Balance of Plant (which includes supporting infrastruc­ture and auxiliary systems) and Turbine contractor­s, both yet to be announced, will also be in attendance to discuss their procuremen­t needs.

Jamie Grant, Benbrack Project Director, said: “The southwest of Scotland is a renewable energy powerhouse and it is crucial that this vision and projects like Benbrack deliver real opportunit­ies for the local economy.”
