Small Wind turbine manufacturer Orenda Energy – which has locations in Ontario, Canada and Livingston, Scotland – is seeking to raise $25million through a series of US investment banks to build its own distributed wind farm across the UK. Orenda is currently finalising the project financing which will see 100 of its own manufactured SKYE 49kW small wind turbines installed across the UK from Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands to create a 4.9 MW (megawatt) distributed wind farm. Orenda claims it has already identified over 100 pre-qualified UK sites stretching across the UK from Cornwall, Wales, Lancashire and throughout Scotland, stretching up to the Western Isles.
