The first map shows the region as a whole. The others show greater detail divided between all the various areas within Dumfries & Galloway.

The link also includes details of the turbines.

In summary in Dumfries and Galloway alone, there are

  • 490 turbines in operation
  • 275 turbines consented and awaiting construction
  • 426 in planning  (many of these are significantly taller than those in operation) and others potentially in scoping

The production capacity of those in operation and consented is currently 1,974.92 MW, enough to supply 1,086,206 homes, as against 69,869 homes predicted for the area in 2028, i.e. a ratio in excess of 15:1.
