Work on the 96-turbine wind farm in Dumfries and Galloway will begin in late 2014 or early 2015, and complete within approximately 24 months, says the developer.

Iberdrola subsidiary ScottishPower Renewables first appliedfor consent for a 132-turbine wind farm in 2010, before reducing the plan to itscurrent scale.

It will still be the company's second-largest onshore wind farm behind the 539MW Whitelee project.
