Aspiring Ecologist and Environmental Specialists SupportWorksatSanquharII Wind Farm

CWP Energy is celebrating the contribution of aspiring ecologists and environmental professionals who have been supporting ecological monitoring and bird protection at the Sanquhar II Wind Farm development this summer. Working alongside specialists from Starling Learning, they have carried out bird surveys, protected ground-nesting species such as Skylarks and Meadow Pipits, and supported habitat management activities across the site.


The initiative has provided valuable hands-on experience for those pursuing careers in ecology while helping to ensure local wildlife is protected throughout construction. Through partnerships like this, CWP Energy is demonstrating how renewable energy development and environmental stewardship can successfully work together.


Jones Bros Team Supports Environment with Litter Pick at Sanquhar II Wind Farm

The Jones Bros team at the Sanquhar II Wind Farm have been supporting the local environment by taking part in litter picking around the site. Alongside delivering a major renewable energy project, these efforts help protect wildlife, keep the surrounding landscape clean, and show a positive commitment to the local community.


Building Careers at Sanquhar II

As part of Jones Bros Civil Engineering’s commitment to developing the next generation of talent in the industry, apprentice Charlie Chambers was given the opportunity to gain invaluable on-site experience at Sanquhar II. The Hamilton native initially spent a month working on the 44-turbine scheme, gaining hands-on experience in land surveying alongside plant operators and supporting the cabling team with practical tasks such as assessing watercourses and advising on cable routes. Charlie is now back on site until the end of the summer. His time on the project has given him real insight into civil engineering in action and reinforced his enthusiasm for renewable energy projects like Sanquhar II.


Quick Action on the C125n at Sanquhar II


At our Sanquhar II wind farm site, we recently received an email from a local resident regarding several large potholes on the C125n public road.

As with all community feedback, we took the concern seriously and moved quickly to address it. Working closely with our contractor, Jones Bros, remedial works were organised and carried out promptly to repair the affected sections of road. Additional road sweeping was also arranged to further improve the condition of the road.

The swift response ensured the road was improved and serviceable again with minimal disruption, a small but important example of how we aim to be responsible neighbours throughout construction and beyond.
