Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements from Muirhall, Scottish Onshore Wind Sites, Boralex, PNE, and others.
Muirhall Wins CfDs for Four Scottish Onshore Wind Sites
Muirhall Energy has secured Contracts for Difference (CfDs) for four onshore wind projects in Scotland, strengthening the commercial foundations for new renewable capacity. The CfDs provide long-term revenue certainty, enabling projects to progress toward financing and construction while protecting consumers from price volatility. The awards reflect continued government support for onshore wind as one of the UK’s most cost-effective renewable technologies. For consumers, CfDs help deliver stable, low-cost clean electricity and shield bills during periods of high wholesale prices. For Scotland, the projects support local investment, job creation, and emissions reduction, while contributing to national net-zero and energy security goals. The milestone underscores the role of CfD-backed projects in accelerating deployment of onshore wind across the UK.
Boralex Secures CfD for Sallachy Onshore Wind Farm in Scotland
Boralex has won a Contract for Difference (CfD) for its Sallachy onshore wind farm in Scotland, providing long-term revenue certainty to advance the project toward construction. The CfD mechanism underpins project financing while protecting consumers from power price volatility by stabilising generation costs. The award highlights the continued competitiveness of onshore wind in the UK’s renewable energy mix and supports Scotland’s ambition to expand clean, low-cost power generation. For local communities, the project is expected to deliver investment, employment opportunities, and community benefits, alongside emissions reductions. The Sallachy wind farm will contribute to energy security and decarbonisation, reinforcing Boralex’s growing UK portfolio and the role of CfD-backed renewables in meeting national net-zero targets.
PNE Secures Permits for 54-MW Onshore Wind Project in Germany
PNE has secured the necessary permits to develop a 54-MW onshore wind project in Germany, clearing a key regulatory hurdle and enabling the project to move toward construction. The permitting milestone reflects improving conditions for wind project approvals as Germany accelerates its renewable energy build-out. The project will add clean, low-carbon electricity to the grid, supporting national targets to expand onshore wind capacity and cut emissions. For consumers and industry, the new wind farm will enhance energy security, supply diversification, and long-term price stability. The development also underlines continued investment confidence in the German wind market, driven by policy support and rising power demand. The project aligns with PNE’s strategy to grow its renewables pipeline and contribute to Germany’s energy transition and net-zero ambitions.
