Turbine plan for Seafield
Portobello Transition Town and Greener Leith have joined forces to explore the potential to develop a wind turbine within Seafield Waste Water Treatment Works.
Early surveys suggest a wind turbine has the potential to generate enough renewable energy to supply the annual electricity needs of 300-1300 households, depending on the size of turbine installed. The generator would be the first community-owned urban wind turbine in Scotland.
The project would see substantial sums raised for local community projects over the lifetime of the project.
The two groups have now launched a campaign to raise funding to develop the project.
