My very first job in the industry all those years ago, Whitelee has put Eaglesham on the map, bringing billions into the local economy, Run The Blades, COP26, family fun day and countless educational experiences for children, and of course winning the wind farm world cup in 2021 with yours truly 😇

The £1.5 billion project will take 10 years to complete and will double the electricity output from 539 megawatts to 1 gigawatt, which is enough to power about 650,000 homes and generate around £300 for the Scottish economy! 🏠 ⚡

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...

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...
