Aviva Renewables

Why locate a wind turbine here?

• Aviva is a large consumer of electricity that would be supplied directly by the wind turbine
• There is a good existing electricity grid connection
• The site is easily accessible given the proximity to the M90 motorway
• A turbine located here would make the most of Perth’s great wind resource
• There would be limited ecological impact given the built-up nature of the site
• The visual impact would be relatively contained given the surrounding terrain screening
