Scottish civil engineering firm RJ McLeod was also involved in the windfarm's development, which took around two years to complete.

Commissioning of Ray follows the completion of Vattenfall’s new Pen y Cymoedd farm in Wales in May this year. It is equipped with 76 turbines.

"Ray windfarm is now fully operational, just a few weeks after its bigger sister, Pen y Cymoedd, hit the same target."

Vattenfall's wind business area head Gunnar Groebler said: “Vattenfall continues to grow its wind business in the UK with Ray windfarm now fully operational, just a few weeks after its bigger sister, Pen y Cymoedd, hit the same target.”

Gunnar further added: “We’re convinced that onshore wind can and will help keep energy bills down for consumers and businesses, while driving clean economic growth. That is why we continue to develop good projects in the UK.”

Vattenfall serves markets in Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Germany, the UK, and Sweden.
