Falck Renewables launches wind farm in Scotland

Falck Renewables has introduced into service Assel Valley Wind Farm, located 5km south of Girvan in south west Scotland, the UK.

This facility employs ten N90/2500 wind turbines and comes with an installed capacity of 25MW, generating around 84,000 MWh annually.

The clean energy produced is the equivalent to the energy consumed by 20,500 homes and will save almost 36,000 tonnes of CO2. This takes Falck’s installed capacity in Scotland to a total of 307MW over nine facilities.

The project has extended support to a local Community Benefit Fund, which will offer grants to support activities that boost the quality of life for local residents.

Falck Renewables CEO Toni Volpe said: "With the launch of the Assel Valley wind farm we reach, ahead of schedule, the goals that we set earlier this year.

"After today’s opening and the recent openings of two other wind farms (Kingsburn in Scotland and Spaldington in England) our installed capacity in the UK, a country where today we have the largest presence, is 377 MW, and the goal is to achieve 413 MW within first quarter of next year.

"The strong relationship with the local communities continues. Assel Valley, as all our UK plants, will contribute to a Community Fund that will finance a number of relevant initiatives for the local community."
