Burges Salmon has advised Blackfinch Energy on its acquisition of Muirhall Wind Farm Extension. 

The site is surrounded by several other turbines and stands out for its impressive scale and production capacity.

With blade tip heights reaching 147 meters, Muirhall Wind Farm Extension has some of the largest turbines in the Blackfinch portfolio and is one of Blackfinch Energy’s most significant assets for annual energy generation, with the capacity to produce approximately 19GWh annually, the equivalent of providing renewable energy to around 5,500 homes each year.

Burges Salmon’s Edinburgh-based corporate energy team advised Blackfinch Energy, led by partner Danny Lee, senior associate Niall Mackle and solicitor Jenny Purcell.

Mr Lee said: “Blackfinch Energy boasts an impressive portfolio of over 70 wind and solar sites across the UK, and it has been a pleasure working with the Blackfinch team as it continues to diversify its Scottish-based assets with an acquisition that plays an important role in renewable energy generation and makes impactful contributions to the local community.

“Our extensive experience in handling acquisitions and divestments in the energy sector, both in Scotland and across the UK, allowed us to ensure a seamless completion within demanding timescales.”
