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. Planning Application to be submitted mid 2026
