Windy Standard II Wind Farm (Brockloch Rig Phase 1) - 61.5 MW Onshore Wind Farm in the United Kingdom

Windy Standard II Wind Farm (Brockloch Rig Phase 1) is an operational onshore wind farm located in the United Kingdom, developed and owned by Fred Olsen Renewables. With a capacity of 61.5 MW, it represents a medium-scale wind energy project that supports the country's transition to low-carbon electricity generation. The facility operates under the UK's regulatory framework for renewable energy, which includes the Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme that provides price stability for low-carbon generators. Onshore wind farms of this scale typically utilize modern multi-megawatt turbines, and the project benefits from the UK's established grid infrastructure and wind resource. As part of the broader Windy Standard cluster, this phase contributes to regional renewable energy capacity and helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The site's location in a rural area with good wind speeds makes it suitable for wind energy generation, while environmental considerations such as visual impact and wildlife protection are managed through standard planning conditions.

The wind farm is situated in a rural, upland area of Scotland, where wind speeds are favorable for energy generation. The local environment includes moorland and grassland habitats that may support bird species such as hen harriers and golden plovers. Mitigation measures, including turbine spacing and curtailment during sensitive periods, are typically employed to reduce collision risks for birds and bats.
