Glenouther Wind Farm

The Site

Glenouther Moor is located at the western end of a moorland plateau south of Glasgow and west of the M77 just south of Corsehouse Reservoir. The site is part of a commercial forestry plantation, typical of the surrounding plateau. Kilmarnock lies to the south of the site.

A Balanced Approach

We are currently exploring a proposal for five wind turbines, each with a tip height of up to 200m. This refined layout reflects a design using fewer turbines while maintaining a similar generating capacity to wind farm proposals previously considered for the site.

Current Status

Proposal of Application Notice and Scoping Report submitted to East Ayrshire Council in August 2025.

Public Consultation

Force 9 is committed to open and transparent communication with the local community. We are planning two rounds of public exhibitions in Q3 and Q4 2025, with the first taking place on Monday 15th September at the SAYCA Centre (7 Standalane, KA3 5BG) from 4pm –8pm. We will welcome ongoing feedback on the proposals following the exhibitions.

Community Benefit

Force 9’s development partner, Vestas, is committed to paying Community Benefit at the Scottish Government recommended rate: currently at a value equivalent to £5,000 per Mega Watt of installed capacity, for every year of operation (anticipated to be 30 years) to help fund community projects.
