Dunfermline wind farm
1.5MW turbine supplies a local employer in Dunfermline with clean, homegrown power.
Project summary
Our Dunfermline turbine was developed in association with energy technology provider, TechnipFMC, and is hosted at the Pitreavie Business Park in Dunfermline. The on-site generation provides renewable electricity for their round-the clock operations, helping the business manage their energy costs. Any additional electricity that is not used by the business is fed to the local grid to meet demand elsewhere.
Via our community benefit programme, we’ve helped local youth centre, Heart and Sound, improve the energy efficiency of their space. Their organisation provides opportunities for young people to learn and experience a range of creative media such as film and sound recording. Thrive’s community benefit funding has enabled them to make a number of energy efficiency improvements, including LED lighting, insulation and energy saving hot water points. In 2019 we were pleased to award further funding to a second community group in the area – Alloa Rugby Football Club – enabling them to install modern, more efficient windows.
