DEVELOPERS are inviting local people to buy shares in two community-owned wind turbines in Wemyss Bay.
The Small Wind Co-op, which is building the turbines at Kellybank, are encouraging people living within 20 miles of the project to join the co-operative.
Inverclyde’s MSP Stuart McMillan, supports the move. He said: “It’s great news that work is about to start on the Kellybank turbines, supporting initiatives that improve employment prospects and grow a further sense of community in Inverclyde.
“And now local people have a second chance to join the co-operative and benefit directly from owning a share in these wind turbines.”
Over 300 members from throughout the UK have already bought shares in the project.
