A Scottish wind farm due to supply Nestlé with 125GWh of clean power each year has moved a step near completion with the closure of its funding round. The £20m (€24m) project is expected to be completed by early next year, and will provide enough energy for Nestlé’s UK operations as well as supplying electricity to other parts of Europe. Backed by German bank KfW IPEX, the project will support Nestlé UK's target to source all its electricity from renewables. Danish company Vestas will provide the project with its new V112 turbines and the steel towers will come from CS Wind's Campbeltown factory in Argyll.
