A solar farm at Mackie’s of Scotland generated enough power to make more than 725,000 gallons of the Aberdeenshire dairy firm’s ice-cream during the first year of green-energy production.
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.
