Takealookat turbineproposal

People in Perth have been invited to take a closer look at a proposal to put up a wind turbine at Pitheavlis today (Tuesday, July 24).

Bosses at Aviva are asking locals to come to its offices and discuss their proposal in greater detail between 2pm and 7pm.

A company spokesperson said yesterday:“Aviva takes climate change very seriously and we want to do all we can to try to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.

“We strongly believe that where it is feasible to produce green energy on our sites we should be reinvesting to make the business as economically and environmentally sustainable as possible for the future.

“The wind turbine proposal on our Perth site is central to our goal of using 100 per cent locally generated green energy, which is supported by the solar panels we have installed.

“We are currently investigating the feasibility of the wind turbine and are undertaking a wide range of studies from environmental noise monitoring to landscape assessment.

“We will work closely with, and listen to, the local community on this proposal, including an open invite to visit our Perth office on Tuesday to see the plans and speak to the people involved.”
