‘Shadow flicker’ complaint sparks shutdowns of Aviva’s wind turbine in Perth – Courier

Published by SAS Volunteer on

Aviva has been invoking shutdowns of its wind turbine in Perth after a neighbour’s complaint was backed by the council.
The 77-metre tall turbine, next to the insurance company’s office at Pitheavlis, was officially opened in November last year.
Aviva says the turbine, along with existing solar panels at the site, should generate 100% of its electricity demands.
But it has already suffered a setback after Perth and Kinross Council found it had breached a planning condition. The council says it received a “justified” complaint from a resident over the structure’s ‘shadow flicker’.  https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/perth-kinross/5226765/perth-aviva-wind-turbine-shutdowns-shadow-flicker/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJ0zTlleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHi6hYY1gu01qHuqoobd3Pug2325mVpBiSTEeH-fnfzM_k8-8UNR5rV4asBJI_aem_0LnqBlZ7N6g_lVHMiUMGyg
