Our windfarm location 

Our location is just south of Bathgate known as Crichton hill. It is a reasonably remote area and has good transport links such as the train station in fauldhouse and the A 70. The main benefits of wind farms are, they produce 537 megawatts of energy per 250 turbines, wind turbines are very cost efficient as they don't require much maintence and for thoughts of you that don't know, wind is free.

Wind power is completely renewable and it has a very good cost-to-output ratio. However good wind turbines are, there are also disadvantages, in some cases they are perceived to be noisy they ruin views and can cause conflicts within communities. Keeping in mind that Scotland's oil is gradually running out we think that by constructing more renewable energy sources in the present it will help us be more prepared for the future.
