West Benhar wind farm
Situated near the town of Shotts in North Lanarkshire, the seven turbine West Benhar Wind Farm provides 30.1MW of low carbon electricity every year – enough to power 18,000 homes. The turbines at West Benhar are approximately 150 metres tall, with each turbine generating 4.3MW of electricity. The local community will benefit considerably from the wind farm via the West Benhar Community Benefit Fund which is worth just over £150,000 per year.
