OnPath Energy is progressing plans for a new onshore wind farm in East Ayrshire after securing a Contract for Difference (CfD) in the UK government’s latest allocation round.
The Lethans Extension Wind Farm was selected in Allocation Round Seven (AR7) with a strike price of £72.24 per MWh, around £5 per MWh below the average wholesale electricity price in Great Britain last year.
Planning permission for the ten-turbine project was granted in 2024. Construction is targeted to begin in late 2027, with turbine tip heights of up to 250 metres.
The AR7 award follows OnPath Energy securing a Contract for Difference for the neighbouring 22-turbine Lethans Wind Farm in the previous allocation round.
