Scottish Water is planning to be a partner in an 18-turbine wind farm in Angus to help cut its own £40 million electicity bill.
The planned development at the Backwater Reservoir near Kirriemuir has the potential to generate up to one-third of the utility's energy requirement.
The power would be sold to the grid and then bought back at a discounted rate, which could save several million pounds a year.
