A huge wind farm in East Ayrshire – which will power over 187,000 homes and help produce Irn Bru – has officially opened.
South Kyle Wind Farm, located on the border of Ayrshire and Dumfries & Galloway, was inaugurated yesterday at a ceremony welcoming energy bosses, politicians and those involved with the build.
Developed and constructed by Vattenfall, the site near Dalmellington will generate enough clean electricity to power the equivalent of over 187,000 homes annually, as well as support power usage at drinks manufacturer A.G. Barr – home to Scotland’s ‘other’ national drink, Irn Bru.
