Sròndoire is the sister community wind farm project to the 10MW Allt Dearg. The Sròndoire turbines are now connected to SSE's 33kV distribution network and able to import power. A mains connection allows the Vestas turbine building teams to finish the construction works and commission the electrical equipment in the turbines. These commissioning works will allow the turbines to look after themselves by turning into the wind automatically to avoid cross wind damage, this is an important factor as equinoxial gales approach.
Generation exports from Sròndoir are curtailed until the end of October when SSE are due to complete the Crossaig to Hunterston subsea crossing and network upgrade.
