Red Rock commenced construction of Benbrack in October 2022 on a self-funded basis, demonstrating its commitment to the project and the Scottish wind sector.
Shi Weifei, Red Rock’s Chief Finance Officer, said: “Our team has been dedicated to delivering an efficient, high quality wind farm for the last five years and to now have the support from Lloyds, HSBC and China Construction Bank reaffirms that Benbrack was a solid investment.
"To self-fund construction during particularly challenging market conditions within the renewables sector took a giant leap of faith, so we are delighted to have our turbines operational and now the security of reaching Financial Close.”
Red Rock sought to maximize opportunities for the local and UK green economy through its key contractors, throughout construction and the lifetime of the wind farm:
Red Rock previously secured Contracts for Difference awards in Allocation Rounds 5 and 6 for the wind farm’s total 67.1MW generation capacity and in March 2025, secured a route to market PPA with SSE Energy Markets.
