Fife Council has switched on its first commercial-scale wind turbine which it hopes will generate £100,000 a year. The 250ft high structure at Lower Melville Wood reached its final milestone when it was connected to the National Grid. It was built last December, but has stood still since, awaiting connection. The £1.3 million turbine at the council’s recycling and resource recovery facility near Ladybank is expected to generate enough electricity to power 200 homes.
