The Guardian : Europe’s largest onshore wind farm, which is based in Scotland and already powerful enough to meet Glasgow’s electricity needs, is to expand by more than a third as part of a major green energy initiative by Scottish parliament.
The first minister Alex Salmond announced that the 322 MW Whitelee wind farm south of Glasgow had been given permission to increase its capacity to 452 MW, as he officially switched on the wind farm last week.
The disclosure came as plans for an even larger scheme, to build a vast community-owned 150-turbine, 540 MW scheme on Shetland, were made public.
