Wind Farm Trip

Primary 7 pupils were ‘blown away’ in every sense on their trip to Whitelee Wind Farm.

Whitelee is a short bus trip from Kingarth Street to Easglesham Moor and is the UK’s largest onshore wind farm.

Its 215 turbines generate up to 539 megawatts of electricity, enough to power just under 300,000 homes!

The children were given a fascinating tour and were able to get close to the turbines. They then had a lab session to work on some wind power experiments.
