wind turbines in Ardrossan



Scotland storm: Work to restore power to homes


Fire engines attended a blaze at wind turbines in Ardrossan in Ayrshire on Thursday

The Scottish government is warning that some people may not get the electricity back on in their homes until the weekend after the worst storm in a decade.
Windfarm on fire in ArdrossanEngineers are battling to reconnect more than 70,000 homes which were without power after the storms.
Most schools are expected to reopen after many councils and businesses closed early on Thursday.
There is still some disruption to travel services.
Storm-force winds on Thursday brought down trees, closed roads and knocked out power lines.
About 150,000 homes are thought to have lost power during the day.
The Scottish government said the storms had eased over the central belt.
However, the storms later caused disruption across the Highlands, Moray, north Aberdeenshire and Orkney.
Overnight severe winds washed away part of a causeway road on the Orkney island of Hoy.
Part of the road surface of the Ayre, which links the communities of Hoy and South Walls, broke up after 22:00 on Thursday and the road remains completely impassable.
There are fears more damage could be caused at high tide.


There are currently 800 homes without power across the islands.
All schools on Orkney remain closed and BBC Radio Orkney is off air after the transmitter was damaged in the storm.
In Aberdeen, several families were evacuated from a tenement in the Kincorth area after the gable end of a house collapsed on to a car.
No-one was injured.
The families have been put up in emergency accommodation until the building can be made safe.
Grampian Police said there had been several early morning road crashes in which motorists had driven into trees lying on the road.
Grampian Fire and Rescue dealt with 75 storm-related call-outs on Thursday night, three times the normal amount.
Many calls were to remove trees and chimney pots and a number of trampolines which had blown away.
They also put out grass fires caused by electrical cables coming down.

A senior fire officer told the BBC it was the most severe storm in his 20 years of service.
In the Highlands, the Skye Bridge remains closed to high-sided vehicles.
The A82 at Corran is closed due to a landslide and will remain shut until at least 10:00 when a review will take place.
All schools in Caithness and the north coast of Sutherland will be closed.
Scottish and Southern Energy/Scottish Hydro said on Friday morning there were 70,000 customers without electricity.
Scottish Hydro, which supplies most areas north of Stirling, said all parts of its region were affected.
Scottish Power, which is responsible for supply in the southern part of Scotland, said it had 2,500 homes without power at 08:00 on Friday.
It said the figure had been 45,000 at its peak on Thursday.
Guy Jefferson, operations director at Scottish Power, said the problems were across the region from Stranraer to St Andrews but the biggest remaining problems were in Ayrshire and Fife.
He said he hoped to get its customers reconnected by the end of Friday but it would be a "gigantic" task.
Fallen tree in Fife/Pic: Anna Stephenson Engineers have been battling with fallen trees and downed power lines
A wind turbine at Ardrossan Wind Farm, near the A78 in North Ayrshire, was destroyed after it caught fire.
Strathclyde Fire and Rescue Service said it had a high number of calls as the 328ft (100m) tall turbine could be seen "far and wide".
Strong winds forced the closure of every major bridge in Scotland: the Forth Road Bridge between Edinburgh and Fife; the Erskine Bridge, which connects Renfrewshire and Dunbartonshire; the Skye Bridge; and Tay Road Bridge.
Glasgow was one of the worst-hit areas on Thursday, with 71mph winds recorded at lunchtime.
Across Scotland local authorities have been assessing structural damage to schools and council properties.
Many were hoping that schools and nurseries could reopen on Friday, but some were due to asses the situation in the morning.
Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who has been chairing the Scottish government's resilience committee, said: "While the worst of the weather has subsided across the central belt, other areas of the country are still experiencing severe conditions.
"Contractors are working hard to resolve remaining issues on our roads and with power supplies.
"I would urge all members of the public to continue to take care and heed advice from police and travel authorities.
"The situation across the country will be monitored overnight and the resilience committee will meet again at 08:30 hours tomorrow morning to assess the position."
However, Ms Sturgeon warned that some customers may not be reconnected before the weekend.

SSE Announces Disposal of Ardrossan Wind Farm

Monday, May 24, 2010

SSE (Scottish and Southern Energy plc) has sold its 100% interest in Ardrossan Windfarm (Scotland) Ltd - which owns and operates a 30MW (megawatt) wind farm in Ayrshire. The purchaser is Infinis, a Terra Firma company.

The transaction comprises a cash consideration of £28.1m paid to SSE and outstanding project debt of £25.7m, transferred to Infinis, giving a total of £53.8m.

Ardrossan Windfarm (Scotland) Ltd was originally owned by Airtricity (acquired by SSE in 2008) and Viridis (Denmark) ApS on a 51%/49% basis. SSE acquired Viridis' interest in April 2010.

The wind farm at Ardrossan was first commissioned in 2004 and was extended in 2009. All of the electricity generated at the site is sold to a third party.

Gregor Alexander, Finance Director of SSE, said:"We own generation assets in order to provide electricity for our customers, and with electricity generated at the site going elsewhere, Ardrossan did not fit in to our portfolio. In our results statement earlier this week, we said we would use acquisitions and disposals to optimise our wind farm portfolio, and this sale is in line with that."
