A decision by the Highland Council not to object to a proposed wind farm extension has been welcomed by SSE.
The scheme at Gordonbush Wind Farm involves adding 15 turbines to the 35-turbine site in East Sutherland.
Since its commissioning in 2012, the development has delivered around £20 million in procurement during construction and more than £1mfor local projects through its Community Fund.
It also generates enough power for around 60,000 homes each year.
Michael Walker, SSE's project manager, said: "We are a responsible developer and we look forward to building on the strong relationships we already have with the communities close to Gordonbush in East Sutherland.
"This sensitively designed project will blend well with the existing wind farm and will make best use of the existing infrastructure. The project could also bring significant socio-economic opportunities to the local area."
