Green light for Scottish renewable energy projects

摘要

Official consent has been granted for a 20-turbine wind farm at Moy, near Inverness, and a combined heat and power bio-mass plant for the Port of Rosyth. The Moy wind farm, which represents a £65 million investment by developer Eneco Wind UK Ltd, will have 20 turbines with a generating capacity of up to 66MW. When completed, it could power the equivalent of approximately 31,000 homes in the area, officials said. The Rosyth plant, a £325 million investment by Forth Energy, would provide low carbon energy to the local area, and the equivalent of more than 40 per cent of the Fife Council area's electricity needs would be met by the development.
