THE UISENIS WIND FARM on the Isle of Lewis has been bought by Amec Foster Wheeler and EDF Energy Renewables, whose parent company secured the Hinkley Point C nuclear facility, in a joint takeover. Set to be the biggest green energy project in the Western isles it has already received planning consent for 45 turbines that will be capable of generating enough electricity to power over 124,000 homes. The joint project, which will be called Lewis Wind Power (LWP), will be added to another EDF part owned acquisition, the Stornoway Wind Farm project which is 20km north of Uisenis.
