When will the works take place?
Works will begin on Monday 18 May 2026 and will be completed by Friday 10 July 2026, with all restrictions lifted by 6.30pm.

The programme has been carefully planned to finish well in advance of Sanquhar Civic Day and the Riding of the Marches (15 August 2026) and to avoid conflict with anticipated Commonwealth Games traffic, beginning on 23 July 2026.

this forum is basically a links page and information page which I hope helps someone out there, it's open to everybody and if anyone wishes to modulate any parts of this please contact me and I will add you happily as it is only meant to help the community and nothing more. I don't want to put political or religious or any type of serious advertising on here as it's a waste of time for all of us and annoying So let's hope given time this will grow into a useful tool for locals and holidaymakers.

There are two major wind farm developments in Sanquhar, Scotland: the operational Sanquhar Community Wind Farm (Phase 1) and the under-construction Sanquhar II Community Wind Farm (Phase 2).

Sanquhar Community Wind Farm (Phase 1) Status: Operational since 2017/2018. Capacity: 31.05 MW to 32.4 MW. Details: This onshore wind farm is owned and operated by Community Windpower. 

It generates enough electricity to power approximately 30,000 households and is located in Dumfries and Galloway. Sanquhar II Community Wind Farm (Phase 2) Status: Under construction; expected to be operational in August 2026. Capacity: 308 MW (making it the fourth-largest onshore wind farm in the UK).

 Details: Developed by CWP Energy, this project features 44 turbines (42 at 200m tip height, 2 at 149m) supplied by Vestas.  It is located in Dumfries and Galloway and East Ayrshire, approximately 6.5km southwest of Sanquhar. Impact:

The project represents an £800 million investment, will power around 335,000 homes, and is expected to offset 540,000 tonnes of CO2 annually.  It includes a battery storage facility for grid stability and pledges over £1.25 million annually to local community funds. A third nearby project, Cloud Hill, was approved in December 2025 for 10 turbines near Sanquhar, with construction expected to start in 2028. Win Farm 2
