©2013 Gazetteer for Scotland
Located in North Ayrshire, the Ardrossan Muir Wind Farm (originally known as Busbie Muir Wind Farm) lies 3 miles (5 km) east southeast of West Kilbride and a similar distance north of Ardrossan. Commissioned in 2004, the farm is capable of generating a total of 24 megawatts (MW) of electricity from twelve 2 MW Danish turbines, which stand 100m (328 feet) high. An extension opened in 2008 which added a further 6 MW to the farm. The facility is operated by Irish wind-power specialists Airtricity.
