100% green electricity made by our UK windfarms
At ScottishPower we're helping people make the change to greener living. Over our 38 onshore windfarm sites hosting 1157 turbines we have capacity to generate 1948MW of electricity. Enough to power the equivalent of over 1.2 million homes.[1] That's just under half the amount of homes in Scotland.[2]
Our green journey
In 1992 ScottishPower Renewables opened its first ever windfarm. Since then, we've went on to open dozens more windfarms across the country. We've been leaders in renewable energy generation for over 30 years and currently have 38 onshore windfarms in operation throughout the UK. One of those is Whitelee windfarm – one of the largest in Scotland, which:
- was the first windfarm in the world to receive prestigious Green Flag Award
- has over 130km of outdoor tracks for walking, running, cycling and horse riding
- is host to a mega-battery (50MW), helping store energy we produce for use at a later date
- has 215 turbines generating 549MW of electricity
