The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Mackie’s of Scotland, ice cream and chocolate producers, for reaching 100 million kWh of energy generated through its wind turbines; understands that the energy produced by the turbines since 2005 is enough to supply 2,500 family homes with electricity for ten years; applauds the work being done by Mackie’s to help the UK reach Net Zero, and showing the effect that small businesses can have in the fight against climate change; recognises that Mackie’s also has nearly 7,000 solar panels across more than 10 acres, as well as two biomass boilers, which heat its offices and houses on the farm; acknowledges that Mackie’s is currently installing a low-carbon refrigeration system, which is understood will cut the farm’s energy use by 80%, and hopes that this fantastic work can continue in the future as Mackie's pursues the milestone of 200 million kWh, as it continues to help the UK to reach Net Zero.
