Orkney’s Wind Farm Built Locally | Glasgow News
Description
Orkney’s new $14 million wind farm is going local—Heddle Construction, a Kirkwall-based firm with roots dating back to 1972, has landed the contract to build the six-turbine project at Quanterness. From design to electrical work, Heddle’s team of over 20 will handle it all, keeping jobs and profits in the community. Backed by a National Wealth Fund loan and powered by Nordex turbines, this long-planned project signals a major leap for Orkney’s renewable energy future—and its economy. Council leaders celebrate the move as a blueprint for future local investment, ensuring the benefits ripple through the region for years to come.
