Community-owned wind-turbine construction begins

CONSTRUCTION of a community-owned turbine in Huntly is underway after receiving a £2 million support package from Clydesdale Bank.

The Greenmyres Community Wind Project will see a 500kW Enercon wind turbine erected on Greenmyres Farm – a 63 acre area, south of Huntly.

Clydesdale Bank’s funding made up 80 per cent of a total of £2,500,000 combined support delivered by the bank, Social Investment Scotland and the Scottish Government’s CARES scheme.
