Action councils have taken to cut CO2

Clackmannashire Council

In May 2008 Clackmannashire Council started working with Partnership for Renewables (PfR) to develop wind turbines on council-owned land. PfR identified potentially suitable sites owned by the council. The company has signed a contract to construct up to four turbines and will pay for their development, construction and operation. The council will get rent for the land, local residents will share in a community benefits package and each turbine will save more than 2,800 tonnes of CO2 a year.
