Campaigners claim a year's delay in the development of an offshore wind farm near Tiree is a blow to the Scottish Government's 2020 green energy targets.
Spanish-owned Scottish Power Renewables said there will be a further delay for the Argyll or Tiree Array which would see between 180 and 300 turbines installed near the island.
A ScottishPower spokesman said: "During this period, the company, acting as a responsible developer, will work alongside other agencies to study the results of initial detailed environmental studies of the project area."
