The team behind ScottishPower Renewables’ MachairWind offshore windfarm will be back on Colonsay and Islay next week, giving local people the chance to meet the team and find out more about the green energy company’s first offshore windfarm in the region.

ScottishPower Renewables’ Whitelee windfarm is welcoming back wicked witches, ghoulish ghosts and everything in between to celebrate Halloween.

Children and young people cross Islay, Jura and Colonsay got to learn all about offshore wind during the October school holidays at special STEM* education events organised by ScottishPower Renewables’ MachairWind project team and Fugro, the company carrying out metocean, wind resource and geophysical surveys for the proposed windfarm.

ScottishPower Renewables is participating in a cutting-edge project that’s studying the genetic diversity of one million flying insects from across the UK and could lead to the discovery of undescribed species.
