A leading renewables firm has successfully erected the first of 15 wind turbines at a major new wind farm that will bolster Scotland’s drive towards net zero.
The structure, totaling 156m in height, has now been installed, kicking off the next stage of development of the Kype Muir Extension – a wind farm that will feature 200m-high wind turbines able to deliver considerable improvements in both output and efficiency when compared to older models.
Its developer, Banks Renewables part of The Banks Group, aims to have the turbines generating renewable electricity by the end of 2022, helping combat the energy shortfall and overreliance on fossil fuel imports that has contributed to soaring energy prices.
The South Lanarkshire wind farm is an extension of the current 26-turbine Kype Muir site which lies south of Strathaven – and will feature four 156m, three 176m and eight 200m-tall wind turbines.https://www.deadlinenews.co.uk/…/first-turbine…/
