About Sanquhar

Sanquhar is an onshore wind farm in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, with 32 MW of registered generating capacity across one balancing mechanism unit. It is the 131st largest of the 163 wind farms in GridMonkey's list of Britain's wind farms that report to Elexon, and is operated or mostly owned by Community Windpower. Every half hour it tells the grid how much it will generate (its physical notification). That is the live figure above, and GridMonkey has recorded it every half hour since 17 October 2026 for the chart.

The government's Renewable Energy Planning Database lists Sanquhar as operational since February 2018, with 9 turbines of 3.4 MW.
