Open day for green energy
SCOTS will have the chance to visit green energy schemes, from wind farms to hydro plants, during a festival next month.
For the first time, energy projects across Scotland will open their doors to the general public. About 20 projects are taking part in the Scottish Renewables Festival 2009, on 13 and 14 June.
They include Burradale wind farm in Shetland, which has one of the country's most productive turbines, and Ben Cruachan hydro power plant in Argyll.
Jason Ormiston, chief executive of Scottish Renewables, said: "
Festival goers will be able to see large and small renewable energy technologies and perhaps be inspired to get involved and do their own thing to help tackle climate change."
