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.

In just seven years’ time, Scotland has committed to reducing carbon emissions by 75% and more than doubling its renewable energy production.
