David Currie, BeGreen Energy Assessor and Anouska Woods, Community Coordinator were delighted to have taken a group on a site visit to Community Windpower's Aikengall Windfarm. The visitors were from Japan taking part in the 19th Overseas Electricity Power Enterprise Study Tour. They gave them a tour of Aikengall Wind Farm in the morning stopping at various areas of the farm and told them all about the turbines from the foundations to the tips of the blades. Also explaining that this still a working farm, there was much excitement to see the border collie rounding up the sheep! It was then on to the BeGreen Office to explain about all the great community involvement we have in the area, from residential grant funding to offering our space to local community groups. The day was finished with a fantastic lunch at the Dunmuir Hotel. We would like to thank everyone from the tour for their company and their special Japanese gifts. |
