A Scottish ice-cream firm has joined forces with Absolute Solar and Wind to create Scotland’s largest solar farm.
The 7000-panel facility in Aberdeenshire, which is capable of producing enough electricity to power 485 homes, is now ready to be connected to the national grid.
A fourth 400kw wind turbine and a new biomass energy plant have also been constructed at the site as part of Mackie’s plan to become a carbon-neutral business.
Mackie’s managing director Mac Mackie said: “As a business we have always seen the value of renewable energy, from both an economic and an environmental perspective.
“We’re constantly challenging ourselves to be as green as possible and working with Absolute we feel well placed to ensure we will always get the best out of our renewable solutions.”
Director and head of solar at Absolute Solar and Wind, Andrew McGown, added: “This latest project is testament to the core values the company is built on and our desire to be market leaders in the field of renewable energy.”
