Cnoc Na Sgine Windfarm

2014 Addition of Enercon E33 Wind Turbine. Also research into battery backup.
Gigha Community: Gigha Renewable Energy Limited, a trading subsidiary of the Isle of Gigha Heritage Trust, established the UK�s first grid-connected local community-owned wind farm in December 2004.
Uses Pre-owned Vestas V27 previously used at Haverigg 1.
Gigha's windmills are ground breaking. This is Scotland 's first community owned, grid connected, windfarm. Perhaps even more significantly, the financial model that has been developed to underpin the project is very robust and capable of widespread replication by communities throughout Scotland (see Gigha website).

Project Info
The Isle of GIGHA’s community wind farm
The Dancing Ladies of GIGHA - Creideas, Dòchas, and Carthannas. Tapping into an abundant local resource, these three wind turbines supply island residents with 100% renewable electricity.

New wind turbine for GIGHA
After some delay, we finally received our planning permission for a brand new E-33 turbine from Argyll and Bute Council.
