In Energy Voice yesterday:

‘Developers of a controversial Moray windfarm claim the project will create hundreds of local jobs, while adding almost £27 million to the local economy. Force 9 Energy, project developers of Clash Gour Windfarm, yesterday announced the submission of an application to the Scottish Government for construction of the site. A subsidiary of EDP Renewables, the onshore windfarm will also create a jobs boom during the three-year construction phase.’
