Kinlochbervie Community Council asked local residents in June 2025 whether or not they were in favour of the windfarm proposed by Galileo Empower, but the responses have never been made public.

There was 18.1GW of renewable electricity operational capacity in Scotland as of the end of March 2026. This is far in excess of the demand for power in Scotland in 2026, and indeed for many years into the future.
