Wind Farm - Hill Of Fiddes - Aberdeen Scotland

            Aberdeen Scotland has many wind turbines, I pass this site on a regular basis, summer 2018 I decided to visit the site and record what I found before me.

The wind turbines are colossal in height and power as the sound of the turbine turning is loud and majestic as you stand at its base .

Hill Off Fiddes - Wind Farm
  
Commercial operations at the site began in February 2010 and the wind farm was taken into the Ventient portfolio in May 2012.

The wind farm has 3 turbines, each rated at 2.3MW giving Hill of Fiddes an installed capacity of 6.9MW and the ability to generate enough energy to power 3,888 homes*.

The wind farm’s community benefit fund provides grants to projects in the communities within the Auchterless, Inverkeithny & Fisherford Community Council and Rothienorman Monquhitter Community Council areas.

Applications to the fund are assessed by The Hill of Fiddes Community Fund which is a sub-committee of Foveran Community Council, incorporating various local groups.
