Creag Dhubh Renewables LLP is looking into the feasibility of developing a wind farm at Creag Dhubh near Strachur, Argyll and Bute. 



Initial feasibility studies realised great potential for wind energy production and encouraged the business to work on developing a proposal that is both sensitive and appropriate to the local area. 

​

Following a review of the results of the Environmental Impact Assessment, an application for planning permission was submitted to Argyll and Bute Council in December 2019. 

​​

This website is intended to allow news and information related to the proposal to be communicated between the project development team and the surrounding local communities.  

The site is located in Argyll and Bute, the site boundary situated over 1km to the northeast of the village of Strachur, with the proposed wind turbines located approximately 3km from the village.

​

The wind farm would be located on the slopes of Creag Dhubh, 484m AOD at its summit, and partially below Creag an t-Suidheachain, in an area of commercial forestry and open moorland. There are several waterbodies within close proximity of the proposed turbine locations that drain the site to the River Cur, with the most notable entitled the Allt Mor.
