YAY, my old digs Whitelee Windfarm by ScottishPower Renewables is being repowered and extended! 💪 The existing 215 turbines will be replaced in three phases with around 124, each of which will be about 110m (361ft) taller

Whitelee Windfarm near Glasgow to be rebuilt with fewer, larger turbines

Whitelee Windfarm has been producing electricity for about 20 years on a stretch of moorland near Eaglesham but is reaching the end of its life.

Tony Blair report claims #renewables too expensive. But onshore #wind £72/MWh, #solar £65MWh - whereas £147/MWh for #gas. Offshore #wind £91/MWh 40% cheaper than new gas. #Nuclear more than £133/MWh and would take many more years to build. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Tony Blair’s oil lobbying is a misleading rehash of fossil fuel industry spin

Ex-PM’s thinktank urges more drilling and fewer renewables, ignoring evidence that clean energy is cheaper and better for bills

A great day for cheap power enthusiasts as 5GW of solar comes in at £65/MWh and 1.3GW of onshore wind comes in at £72.24/MWh. Both prices are in £2024 and are below the wholesale price, meaning that these projects will cut costs. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/698a0d...
