We are now the proud co-owner of Whitelaw Brae, Ripple’s third people-owned wind farm project

Located in the Scottish Borders

Constructed near Tweedsmuir and north of Moffat, Whitelaw Brae Wind Farm will play home to 14 turbines and is ideally positioned to take advantage of optimal wind exposure.

The UK is making meaningful progress towards its Net Zero by 2050 target but more green energy projects such as cooperatively-owned wind farms are needed for success.

The Whitelaw Brae Wind Farm site is on upland above the Fruid Reservoir. A habitat management plan has been designed to enhance the local ecology and wildlife, including grass maintenance to support nesting wader birds and the removal of scrub to allow healthier mosses to grow and support native biodiversity.

Whitelaw Brae Wind Farm will save approximately 78,323 tonnes of CO₂ every year.

In less than 3 minutes, when running at full power, Whitelaw Brae can generate enough electricity to power an average UK home for a whole year.
