Vestas - Celtic Wind Technology Ltd Production Factory

Vestas - Celtic Wind Technology Ltd Production Factory

The factory is holding an open day in association with Doors Open days. It is the only combined Wind Turbine Production and Nacelle Assembly Plant in the UK. The factory has now completed 18 months of production and employs just under 200 personnel, the majority of whom are residents of Campeltown and Kintyre. Visitors will be given a conducted tour of the factory, and can also see video presentations of the V80-2.0 MW turbines at Malmo, Sweden, and the Tuno Knob offshore wind-farm. A 46-turbine wind-farm on Beinn an Tuirc (not included in the programme) is now operational, and together with 2 smaller wind-farms in Kintyre, shows the potential for growth of this type of "green energy". Tea, coffee and light refreshments will be available in the canteen.
