Congratulating the Radio City Association Charity on Receiving £5 Million in Funding Towards a Community Wind Turbine

Lodged by Neil Bibby (Scottish Labour) Standard Motion 12 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Radio City Association charity on receiving £5 million in funding towards the first 100% community-owned onshore wind turbine that will operate commercially, without the benefit of government price support mechanisms; recognises that the ATTIX Community Interest Company (CIC), which was established by the Radio City Association, will invest the sum into the Garnock Valley in North Ayrshire; notes that the group will now press forward with its plans to construct the turbine just outside Kilbirnie, with construction expected to be completed by the end of 2024 and the wind turbine having the capability to power the equivalent of 2,234 average UK homes once operational, and commends the volunteers of the charity for working hard to achieve this funding and for having the vision for such an ambitious project.
