Summary[edit]

Description
English: A wind turbine for your store When I first saw this rotating structure I assumed it was intended to house some advertising or publicity. In fact it is a wind turbine designed to reduce the carbon footprint of the supermarket in whose car park it is located.

In connection with similar scheme at another store a company spokesman said, "We have been looking at a few sites across the UK as locations for these turbines ... ... ...it may only provide a small proportion of the total energy used in the supermarket, but this is part of a UK-wide initiative that we are committed to. We need to try to provide renewable energy at as many of our stores as possible." http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/housingbuildings/funding/scottishbusiness/scottishnews/

The application for planning consent stated that the turbine would be capable of generating six kilowatts of electricity and have an estimated lifespan of 15 years.
