While the sun shines in Harris, significant progress has been made building a new track up to the wind turbine sites.
Blast! from North Harris Trust on Vimeo.
Last week, after importing tons of stone from the Ceann an Ora quarry, the contractors claimed 4000 cubic meters of stone in the space of a few seconds. This will be used to extend the track between the sites for the three turbines.
The project is being developed by The Monan Wind Company, which is a Joint Venture between the North Harris Trust and Windflow Technology. Windflow has developed a smaller two-bladed machine that can tolerate higher levels of turbulence. They have 100 of them operating in similar terrain in New Zealand.
The Harris machines will arrive in Scotland on November 8th, so weather permitting, they will be installed before the end of the year.
