en.Wedoany.com Reported - German energy company RWE has announced that its 36 MW Camster II onshore wind farm in Caithness, Scotland, has been fully commissioned. The project was approved in July 2021, construction began in 2023, and first power was generated in March 2026. With a generation capacity of 36 MW, it is expected to power approximately 51,000 households. Comprising 10 turbines, the wind farm is RWE's fourth operational project in the Caithness region.

"With the completion of Camster II, we have once again demonstrated RWE's expertise in delivering onshore wind farms, while creating real value for local communities and the economy," said Sopna Sury, CEO of RWE Renewables Europe & Australia.

Main contractor Farrans provided over 50 jobs during construction and awarded 54% of subcontracts within a 20-mile radius of the project site. Once the wind farm is operational, local engineers and specialists will be recruited for operation and maintenance. Patrick Murray, Regional Director at Farrans, said: "We are delighted to see Camster II now powering homes and contributing to our national renewable energy targets." With the operation of this wind farm, RWE's total annual contributions to the Caithness Community Fund will exceed £580,000, and the company will consult with the local community to develop a benefits package.
