VG ENERGY
Renewable technology specialist VG Energy, along with Kingspan Wind and legal fi rm Turcan Connell, has gifted the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) a small-scale domestic wind turbine to help reduce the organisation’s climate change emissions. The 15-metre high KW6 turbine, which has a capacity of 6kW, has been installed at RSPB’s Loch Leven nature reserve near Kinross.
In order to minimise landscape impact – and to avoid potential bird strikes to
geese and other waterbirds at the reserve – the location for the turbine is near a wooded area beside the car park for the visitor centre. As part of the planning application, a thorough ecological assessment was carried out, which concluded that there was no signifi cant risk to birds. Tel: 01563 829990
