Farr Wind Farm is located approximately {{Convert|10|mi|km|abbr=}} south of Inverness in Scotland, to the south-east of the Farr area, and to the west of the A9 road. It comprises 40 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 92 megawatts (MW). Every year the wind farm generates enough clean electricity to meet the average annual needs of some 54,000 homes – enough to supply more than half the homes across the Highlands of Scotland.{{Cite web |url=http://www.npower-renewables.com/farr/index.asp |title=Farr Wind Farm |access-date=2009-03-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091003003628/http://www.npower-renewables.com/farr/index.asp |archive-date=2009-10-03 |url-status=dead }}
Siemens wind power looked after service and maintenance on the wind farm from commissioning until 2017. The windfarm is now staffed by members of Deutsche Windtechnik a German company with a large UK presence.
