ORE Valley Housing Association will today be welcoming the Scottish Government’s Minister for Business, Innovation and Energy Paul Wheelhouse to formally open its recently completed wind turbine built to the south of Cardenden.
The event will be held in the Dundonald Institute, from 11am to 12pm.
The event will be a celebration of the development of the project and the culmination of almost ten years of work by the Association.
Ore Valley's Nick Clark said: "The Association’s aspiration is to see the local area benefit from a large-scale community renewable project with net profits used to support a community fund and the Association’s own endeavours in the area.
"The turbine will produce 1800MW of green electricity for export to the grid, the equivalent power for 360 Fife homes as well as save 313 tonnes of carbon emissions each year".
The event will see the Association welcome a number of key project partners, funders and developers as well as community stakeholders from across the town who have helped with the establishment of the turbine.
