We are sharing details of proposed changes to our consented Artfield Forest Wind Farm. We plan to submit an application for the changes in Late 2025. Artfield Forest Wind Farm received consent from the Scottish Government’s Energy Consents Unit in February 2023. As a key consultee, Dumfries & Galloway Council’s Planning Applications Committee unanimously decided to ‘raise no objection’ to the plans and the project received no statutory consultee objections. The project has a grid connection date in 2030, giving Statkraft time to maximise the energy output from the site. The proposed changes aim to make the best use of the site, technology available at the time and the project’s grid connection capacity. The changes will result in an increase to the project’s clean electricity production, over an increased lifespan, helping to provide the UK with energy security and increased benefits for the local community.
