A COMMUNITY energy project is urging investors to back a project which will operate 12 wind turbines near Humbie and help tackle fuel poverty. The new scheme offers people an opportunity to support Our Community Energy – a partnership between not-for-profit Scottish firm Our Power and Mongoose Energy, which manages community energy assets – and hopes to find investors in the county. They say that the site at Pogbie Windfarm – already home to the turbines – will create enough energy to power 7,200 homes and believe that, when they combine it with a second site in Berwickshire, the scheme will raise an estimated £1.9 million in surplus profit over 25 years.
