E.ON wins right to develop wind energy on FCS land in Scotland
E.ON has secured exclusive right to explore the land owned by Forestry Commission Scotland (FCS) for new wind energy projects.
The German utility has been awarded two lots of FCS land located in the north and west of Scotland.
E.ON said that the two lots have the potential to produce enough electricity to power over 270,000 homes annually.
E.ON managing director of European renewable business Michael Lewis said that wind is an important part of the future energy mix in the UK and as schemes get larger and larger, so too does the contribution they make towards renewable energy targets, which is why they are so vital.
The utility already operates 18 onshore wind farms with a total capacity of 175MW across the UK, and has over 1500MW capacity within the planning and development phases.
