THE UK's largest community wind farm project is set to generate more than £20 million over the next two decades for local people, the scheme's backers have claimed.
Residents in the remote Western Isles have secured more than £10m for the project to build three 2.3 megawatt turbines on the island of South Uist.
The money raised will be reinvested in the community, with funds earmarked to improve tourism, leisure and port facilities and boost local businesses.
