Ripple has announced that the Whitelaw Brae wind farm will be built Scottish Borders moorland, around 15 km north of Moffat, close to Tweedsmuir. It is set to be the largest people-owned green energy project in the UK with the potential to save typical households 1,434 kg CO₂ annually, once operation begins in late 2026.

Ripple, working with BayWa and Vestas, will build upon its existing portfolio of renewable projects and as with these, will be attempting not only to create green energy but also improve biodiversity of the Whitelaw Brae site such as cutting the grass around the surrounding water bodies on site will provide a suitable nesting habitat for wader species, such as lapwing, curlew, snipe, and ringed plover.
