Heartland Community Wind has now raised £1.4m of the £1.8m needed and has now confirmed that it is definitely going ahead. Shares in the project are still available -see www.heartlandwind.org.uk for all the details.
The project has full planning permission, grid connection, Feed-in Tariff locked in, and will see 2 turbines situated at an altitude of over 500m on a windy moor in central Scotland. Project surplus will go to provide scholarships for local young people, while members will benefit from EIS tax relief – 30% of money invested back from the taxman!
