Glen Ullinish II
The proposed development is located on Skye, and if consent is granted, will replace the already consented Glen Ullinish Wind Farm. Our proposals for an expanded and re-designed Glen Ullinish II Wind Farm would maximise the project’s contribution to Scotland’s climate change targets and also deliver a far greater community investment fund for the people of Skye to invest in local priorities.
An application under Section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 has been submitted to the Scottish Ministers via the Energy Consents Unit for Glen Ullinish II Wind Farm. The application was submitted in July 2023.

Project construction
Muirhall Energy is passionate about leaving a lasting positive legacy for the site and surrounding communities and aim to maximise the financial benefit of the wind farm for the community.
Initial Investment Fund
The Initial Investment Fund (IIF) opens to applications from community groups as soon as construction begins. The IIF of £235,000 (£5,000 per turbine) for Glen Ullinish II is to be distributed to community projects around the wind farm.
Community Investment Fund
Once the site is operational, the Community Investment Fund is launched to further support communities throughout the lifetime of the project. For Glen Ullinish II, an industry-leading £7,000 per MW is being offered, which equates to an annual fund of nearly £2 million, and approximately £80 million over the lifetime of the windfarm.
Shared Ownership
Muirhall Energy is also offering up to 10% ownership of the proposed development to the surrounding communities, which if secured, would result in a substantial increase in community revenue available for local investment.
At Muirhall Energy we understand the importance of conserving and aiding biodiversity and environmental sustainability. We are therefore fully committed to ensuring the Proposed Development will leave a positive impact on the site, as well the local, and wider community.
