SPOTLIGHT ON WEST OF SCOTLAND
SCOTTISH WATER INSTALL EVANCE SMALL WIND TURBINES TO POWER WATER TREATMENT WORKS
Ten Evance turbines to reduce cost of operating water works on Isle of Lewis
Evance is pleased to be working in partnership with Scottish Water to help harness wind power and so reduce the energy costs of running a vital service for the Scottish community.
FIRST INSTALLATION COMPLETE The first installation of R9000 small wind turbines has been completed at Scottish Water’s waste water treatment works near Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis. The ten turbines will be able to generate around 500kWh of electricity each day to help power the works, so reducing the energy costs of running the works today and in the future.
ON-SITE FOR USE ON-SITE Eddie Johnstone, Project Manager with Scottish Water’s Energy Team stated “We’re delighted that this wind project at Stornoway has come to fruition. Scottish Water needs a significant amount of energy to provide services to the people of Scotland. By installing the Evance small wind turbines energy can be generated on-site for use on-site. This will reduce the need for purchasing electricity from a grid supplier, resulting in lower energy costs – all benefits for our customers. We will continue to pursue opportunities to deliver best value by developing renewables and maximising use of Scottish Water’s assets.”
VITAL SERVICE AT REDUCED COST “It is exciting to see our turbines being used to help Scottish Water reduce the cost of supplying a vital water & waste water service to the Scottish community,” comments Tim Sammon, Director of Evance Wind Turbines.
“It is great working with the team at Scottish Water as they are open to opportunities to make small wind work for them on sites where wind is a good natural resource – a resource there for harnessing! This is all for the benefit of their paying customers, and will also support local businesses which are providing installation services, and will undertake ongoing servicing of the turbines.”
