Pates Hill Wind Farm

It consists of 7 Vestas V-80 wind turbines, measuring 107 metres to the blade tip.

It became operational in February 2010 and is expected to generate electricity equivalent to the needs of approximately 8,000 households annually.

The West Lothian Council granted planning permission in June 2007 for a 25-year period.

The balance of plant contract for the civil and electrical works was awarded to Lagan Construction Limited.

Vestas is the largest wind turbine manufacturer in the world, based in Denmark.
