Project Background

The north of Scotland has some of the best wind resource in Europe, and Orkney is no exception. Eday sits in the midst of this incredible energy resource and is well placed to support a wind project.

The Neven Point Wind Farm project is located on Greentoft Farm land on the southern edge of Eday and was initially mooted in 2018 as a 10-turbine proposal. Following initial feasibility work, the design was reduced to an 8-turbine proposal, and a Scoping Report setting out the proposed scope of environmental survey work was submitted to Orkney Islands Council in 2019.

GreenPower acquired the project in June 2022 and, following further assessment work, reduced the 8-turbine proposal to a now 5-turbine proposal.

To facilitate the wind farm’s construction, we propose building a separate landing point adjacent to the existing pier. This ensures that the existing pier and ferry service will be able to operate as usual.

We are required to hold separate consultations on the wind farm and the proposed landing point as different planning applications will be submitted for these two aspects of the project.

The planning application for the wind farm has now been submitted and is available to view on the Orkney Islands Council planning portal by searching reference: 25/203/TPPMAJ or by viewing the application on the below links. Planning for the proposed landing point is due to be submitted in Summer 2025.
