The go ahead for Europe’s largest wind farm has been announced today by Allan Wilson MSP, Deputy Minister for Enterprise & Lifelong Learning at the Scottish Executive
ScottishPower's application for the Whitelee wind farm project, south of Glasgow, has been given planning consent.
It will have a capacity to generate 322 megawatts (MW) of electricity, enough to power nearly every home in Glasgow.
It will provide over 11% of the 2010 Scottish Executive’s renewable energy target (18% of all electricity generation in Scotland), and 2.4% of the UK wide target for 10% of electricity generation from renewables by 2010.
