A WIND farm being built in the Scottish Borders is set to become Britain’s largest people-owned renewable energy project.

The site at Whitelaw Brae near Tweedsmuir has been purchased by Ripple Energy in an agreement with developers BayWa r.e.

At full power, it’s estimated it will take just three minutes to provide enough electricity for an average household for an entire year. “Whitelaw Brae is a significant milestone in this journey, representing a true partnership between people and the environment. By owning just a credit card size slice of a turbine, most people can power their homes with 100% green energy.

An eight-turbine wind farm at Kirk Hill near Girvan, Scotland is also due to complete this month, while work continues on Ripple’s first solar park at Derril Water near Devon, England where members share the power as well as the ownership.
