Aikengall IIa
Current Status
Aikengall IIa Community Wind Farm was given planning consent by the Scottish Government in October 2016.
Project Progress
Planning conditions for the wind farm are currently in the process of being prepared ready for discharge and a Section 36c application to increase the tip height of a single turbine (Turbine 16) has been lodged with the Energy Consesnts Unit. The increase in tip hieght of 20m will bring the turbine in line with the other turbines at Aikengall IIa. The planning documentation can be found below.

Project Information
The wind farm will have an installed capacity of over 50MW generating clean, green electricity.
Site Location
Aikengall IIa Community Wind Farm is located on the border of East Lothian and Scottish Borders, approximately 12.5 km south of Dunbar and 6 km south of Innerwick. The wind farm will form an extension of Community Windpower’s operational Aikengall and Aikengall II Community Wind Farms.
Wind Farm Layout
Aikengall IIa Community Wind Farm will comprise of 19 wind turbines. 18 of these wind turbines will have a tip height of 145 metres and a generating capacity of around 4MW, whilst 1 wind turbine will have a tip height of 125 metres and a generating capacity of 3.5 MW. However this is subject to a variation application (Section 36C)
Environmental Benefits
Aikengall IIa Community Wind Farm will generate enough electricity to power approximately 70,000 homes and will displace around 121,000 tonnes of Carbon Dioxide per annum.
Economic Benefits
Aikengall IIa Community Wind Farm will provide substantial annual community benefit funding, to our host communities. This is in addition to that already provided from Aikengall and Aikengall II – See our latest East Coast Today Community Newspaper for information.
