Wind turbine plan for £42m South Ayrshire school
Reading time: 1 minute
A 30-metre-tall wind turbine will generate electricity for a new £42 million “super school” in Carrick, South Ayrshire Council has said.
The state-of-the-art Maybole campus of Carrick Academy, set to hold up to 1,400 children when it opens in August 2021, will be completely carbon neutral.
The council has lodged a proposal of application notice for the erection of the turbine, the Carrick Gazette reports.
A spokesperson for South Ayrshire Council said: “We are designing the new Maybole campus to be a net zero carbon facility and as part of that plan we are looking to generate our own electricity on site using technology such as wind turbines and photovoltaics.”
The new campus will include Carrick Academy, St Cuthbert’s Primary and the amalgamation of Cairn Primary and Gardenrose Primary as a new non-denominational primary school.
