Wind2 has applied for planning permission for an Energy Park, near Laurieston, approximately 7km northeast of Gatehouse of Fleet and 10km west of Castle Douglas.

Lairdmannoch Energy Park is made up of two renewable technologies - wind turbines, and solar panels. The Proposed Development also contains battery storage, which will support the integration of the low-carbon power produced at Lairdmannoch.

The Proposed Development will consist of nine wind turbines, ground mounted solar panels, and battery storage, with a total rated output of up to 100MW (60MW wind, 20MW solar and 20MW battery storage).

Closing date for comments / objections: Friday 18th July 2025
