The Scottish government has approved E.ON UK PLC's proposed 54.4-MW Enoch Hill wind farm in East Ayrshire, following a public inquiry.
E.ON UK launched proposals for the project in 2012. An earlier design of the project called for a proposed capacity of 72.5 MW of electricity.
"We've worked for several years to design this project, during which time we've taken on board considerations from many stakeholders as well as feedback from the local community," said project manager Simon Lejeune in a Sept. 16 statement.
E.ON SE, through its U.K. unit, owns more than 20 onshore and offshore wind farms in the U.K.
