Wind Sites

In 2008 the co-operative purchased a stake in the Kilbraur wind farm via a share offer in excess of £1 million.  A second share offer in 2011 saw the purchase of a further stake in the remaining 8 turbines at the wind farm.  The site consists of 27 turbines.  

The Isle of Skye Renewables Co-op purchased a stake in the Ben Aketil wind farm following an initial share offer in 2008, quickly followed by a second offer in 2010.  The twelve turbines on site generate enough clean, green energy to supply around 21,000 homes. 

Following a successful share offer in 2015, High Winds raised £4million towards the cost of constructing two wind turbines at Harlock Hill, near Ulverston, Cumbria. A later share offer raised £5.7 million, which saw High Winds become the sole owner of Mean Moor Wind Farm, Ulverston.
