RWE Wind Farm Receives Mixed Reaction
A controversial wind farm is being proposed south of Oban in Scotland, reveals the pressandjournal.co.uk. RWE nPower renewables wants to build 16 turbines at Raera Forest and it will be able to be seen from the island of Seil.
There is mixed reaction from the local residents although most people seem to be against it. Many believe they are in the wrong place but the site has been chosen because there are high wind speeds there and it won’t be too damaging to bird populations and is of low ecological interest.
RWE nPower believes that the wind farm could provide electricity for over 38,000 households. Public consultations are still taking place as RWE wants to ensure that local people have a chance to voice their opinions.
