THE Renewables Infrastructure Group (TRIG) has expanded its portfolio in Scotland with the acquisition of a windfarm in Aberdeenshire
The Meikle Carewe site, near Stonehaven, has been bought, along with the Tallentire facility at Cockermouth, Cumbria, in a deal worth £19.1 million.
Both windfarms have been bought from renewable energy developer RES.
TRIG had struck an agreement giving it the first option to buy the sites prior to its initial public offering on the London Stock Exchange main market in July 2013.
It raised £300m on its entry to the stock exchange to buy a portfolio of 18 assets which included windfarms in Caithness, Moray and Ayrshire.
Meike Carewe, which began operating in July last year, has 12 turbines with a generating capacity of 10.2 megawatts.
Tallentire, running since May 2013, has six larger-capacity turbines, which give it the ability to generate up to 12 megawatts of power.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
