Great Glen Energy Co-operative
Overview
Project Summary
The wind farm, owned and managed by Millennium Wind Energy Ltd is located in the hills north of Invergarry and south west of Fort Augustus. There are currently 26 x 2.5 MW Nordex turbines on the site. When the wind farm is operating fully its 26 turbines generate enough clean, green electricity to supply around 36,000 average homes and help reduce reliance on existing less environmentally-friendly energy resources. The Great Glen Energy Co-op purchased a stake in the Millennium wind farm on the 4th September 2008 after raising £1,288,270. The co-op currently has 668 members each with a shareholding ranging from £250 to £20,000 (the maximum holding in the co-op). All members receive annual interest on their shares in the co-op. The Great Glen Energy Co-op is part of a family of co-ops being developed by Energy4All Ltd in partnership with Falck Renewables Wind Limited.
