Scottish Renewables member company Natural Power announced today (24 May) that it has invested £540,000 in a new state-of-the-art Control Centre to manage 5GW of onshore and offshore wind, biomass, solar and hydro capacity. The facility was opened this morning by Scottish Government Energy Minister Paul Wheelhouse MSP.
Commenting, Fabrice Leveque, Senior Policy Manager at Scottish Renewables, said:
“Natural Power’s new state-of-the-art facility has been specially designed with the company’s next decade of growth in mind and this should be commended.
“The Dumfries and Galloway hub will handle 5GW of onshore and offshore wind, biomass, solar and hydro capacity from the UK, Ireland, France and the US, proving that international renewable energy assets can be managed from rural Scotland.
“In our ever-changing industry, it’s reassuring to see the creation of a sophisticated and flexible centre with the ability to manage capacity from multiple renewable energy technologies.”
