There is currently a proposal for 17 wind turbines to be located on the Hill of Fare. Each turbine would be 250m tall. If approved, it would be the tallest onshore wind farm in the UK and of National interest. Planning permission has not yet been sought, but the planning process has commenced.

The project is led by a company called RES and information is available on a website they have set up http://www.hilloffare-windfarm.co.uk. There is a scoping report you can read, which gives an overview.
