Project overview

Driving clean energy for generations

The Breezy Hill Energy Project is an 80MW wind farm with integrated battery storage, currently under development by Brockwell Energy. Located southeast of Ayr and adjacent to our North Kyle project, Breezy Hill was launched as a standalone development following the acquisition of additional grid capacity in 2022. Targeting operations by 2028, the project will deliver clean, renewable energy and generate long-term value for the surrounding community.

Environmental focus

Breezy Hill is undergoing a rigorous Environmental Impact Assessment to ensure a responsible and well-informed approach. The assessment considers visual impact, ecology, heritage, traffic, and more. With comprehensive data from our North Kyle and Polquhairn projects, we are committed to minimising environmental impacts and respecting the surrounding landscape. A planning application will be submitted to the Scottish Government in Q1 2025. 

  • Community engagement & benefits

    Breezy Hill is designed to provide tangible benefits for local communities: 

    • Annual community funding: £400,000 will be allocated to the 9CCG - a group representing nine local communities - throughout the project’s 40-year lifespan, index-linked to preserve long-term value. 
    • Land restoration and access: Building on the North Kyle Forest Masterplan, Breezy Hill will support rewilding, public access, and sustainable land use, with new walking and cycling paths. 
    • Visitor centre: Plans include a family-friendly visitor centre featuring a café, bike rentals, public facilities, and water sports access at Coyle Water. To accelerate delivery, initial community funding will be advanced upon project consent.
