7 April 2010 - Visit to see a working wind farm
Visiting a wind farm can be useful in helping people learn more
about wind energy and understanding what the project proposed for
their area might look like. We always offer people the
opportunity to visit an operating wind farm so they are able to
have firsthand experience, this helps dispel common myths and
misconceptions about wind turbines.
RES is offering a trip to a local wind farm on Wednesday 7th April
2010.
Transportation and refreshments will be provided by RES. If
you would be interested in joining us please contact Rachel Anderson for
