The consent was granted on 6 August for an eight turbine wind far on the Kildrummy Estate, 6 km west of Lumsden, following a public enquiry held in December last year.
Project manager Mark Crawford said "This has been a long and challenging journey through the local planning system."
Proposals for the wind farm were first announced in 2003. An initial planning application was submitted to Aberdeenshire Council in December 2004 and a revised re-application was submitted two years later in order to reduce concerns raised by statutory consultees and local residents.
