councils action to cut carbon

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.
