Welcome to our website sharing our ongoing journey together with local people to develop our plans for Glen Water Wind Farm.
Our proposals for Glen Water have been developed through early, meaningful and close consultation with local people and communities. We have prioritised reaching as many people as possible to give everyone the opportunity to have their say and help shape our proposals, including three in-person consultation events, as well as a survey reaching 4,500 local people via social media with over 350 responses including 829 pieces of written feedback.
We have used local feedback to create a proposal that reflects and is shaped by the opinions, needs and challenges of the local community to make Glen Water more than a wind farm – a project that supports renewable energy, cares for people and the environment, and delivers lasting benefits for local communities.
Over lifetime of the project
1% free equity and further shares for the community to buy at market rates.
Initiative to decarbonise homes within 2km of the wind farm using suitable local contractors.
Our OnPath Together approach seeks to maximising economic benefits with a commitment of £1 million / MW being spent in the local area.
In January, we’re hosting a second round of consultations where you can have your say on the design proposal before we submit a planning application.
Please note: Comments made to OnPath Energy are not representation to East Ayrshire Council. When OnPath Energy submits a planning application there will be an opportunity for members of the public to make direct representations to East Ayrshire Council’s planning department.
Find out more about the project design and how together with local voices have shaped plans that will leave a positive, lasting legacy for both people and planet.
Following our first round of consultations in spring 2025, we now want to show you what’s emerged and discuss how these plans can create a positive legacy for your community.
With the help of local voices we believe our plans will deliver a wide range of social, economic and environmental benefits for the community, while supporting the UK’s transition to renewable energy.
