This week's windy weather has provided ideal conditions to put the three Sròndoire turbines through their final endurance tests.

The three Sròndoire Community Wind Farm turbines are now all turning and generating both clean energy and substantial economic benefit for Argyll’s rural communities. After approval from SSE, Sròndoire has been able to increase production and export power onto the local distribution grid. This has coincided with wet and windy weather, allowing the Vestas crew to complete commissioning and testing ahead of the most productive winter period.

The total direct community benefit delivered in cash paid out by Allt Dearg Community Wind Farm to the Allt Dearg Educational Trust and the Ardrishaig Community Trust has topped the symbolic £ 1/2 million mark, after nearly three years of wind farm operation.
