Gordon Thomson of Banks Renewables By Kristy Dorsey RJ MacLeod has won a contract for the extension of a South Lanarkshire wind farm that will become home to the UK’s first 200-metre-tall onshore turbines. The Glasgow-headquartered company will supply the supporting components and auxiliary systems to 15 additional turbines being installed at Kype Muir by Banks Renewables, the wind energy division of the family-owned mining and property construction Banks Group based in Durham, England. Construction is due to begin within the next few weeks, with the extension scheduled to begin generating electricity by the end of next year. Located 7.5km south of Strathaven, the new turbines combined with Kype Muir’s 26 existing turbines will produce a combined 155MW of electricity annually. This will be enough to meet the needs of approximately 112,000 homes – the equivalent of a city larger than Aberdeen.
