About Windy Rig
Windy Rig is an onshore wind farm in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, with 43 MW of registered generating capacity across one balancing mechanism unit. It is the 113th 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 Greencoat UK Wind. 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 Windy Rig as operational since October 2021, with 12 turbines, up to 125 m tall to the blade tip.
