Boyndie Wind Farm Extension, north coast of Aberdeenshire between Portsoy and Banff

Falck Renewables have just received planning consent (subject to formal confirmation) for an additional turbine at Boyndie, bringing the total to 8.

The Boyndie members discussed this briefly at their last AGM and were enthusiastically in favour of taking up Falck's offer of a stake in the additional turbine. Over 80% of the members present indicated an interest in buying more shares. Agreement has now been reached between the Boyndie Co-op board and Falck on the terms of this offer, which will be available to existing members only, to save the costs of a share issue.

Future Opportunities...

Extensions are also planned for all the other Falck sites in Scotland. Falck has indicated to Energy4All that if these applications are successful, each of the co-ops will have the opportunity to increase its investment. Construction of any additional turbines is likely to be in 2010 or 2011. Further details will be sent to the co-op boards and the members as soon as they are available.
