Camster 2 Wind Farm Will Increase Community Benefit

11th August 2023

The 10 turbine site will be located in Caithness near to our existing operational project, Camster. When completed it will be capable of producing up to 36MW of electricity and generate power for over 35,000 average UK households.

RWE Renewables will continue to liaise with the local community through the Community Liaison Group for the next stage of this project.

Since receiving planning consent in July 2021 the company have been working hard to optimise the project and finalise all the agreements needed to begin construction. These agreements are now close to being completed and as such, construction of the initial site tracks and construction compound can now shortly begin. RWE are planning to start onsite in early September 2023.

A drop-in session on the afternoon of Wednesday 16th August 2023, and would welcome the opportunity to answer questions you may have on the wind farm. Please do not hesitate to drop in and speak with the project team.

16th August, Watten Village Hall, Watten, KW1 5YL, 2pm - 7pm.

Community Support
RWE is committed to supporting the communities that neighbour our wind farms. In 2022 alone community funds from wind farms operated by RWE in Scotland invested around £780,000 into local projects.

Camster Wind Farm already has an operational community fund, administered by Foundation Scotland, with all decisions on the allocation of funding made by a panel of local people. Camster II Wind Farm, once operational, will bring with it further community funding. During the wind farm's construction period, the Community Investment Manager will work with local stakeholders to understand the best way to structure the new fund to maximise the benefit to local communities.
