Portobello and Leith Community Wind Turbine wins Energyshare funding!

Congratulations to Greener Leith and PEDAL-Portobello for winning the Energyshare vote! They would like to thank anyone who voted for them.

This funding does not guarantee that the wind turbine will be built, but it does mean that they now have all the funding in place to complete the planning application and associated feasiblity studies.

Your chance to vote for the Portobello and Leith Community Wind Turbine project

Greener Leith, a local environment group, is in the final short list for a grant of up to £80,000 for their proposed Portobello and Leith Community Wind Turbine project. If the project gets the green light it won’t just generate green energy, it will also generate a surplus of hundreds of thousands of pounds over its lifetime. It is their intention to use this surplus to support community projects in the Leith, Craigentinny and Portobello area.

In order to gain the £80,000 funding required, they have to win an online public vote and at the time of writing, they are currently running a very close second. If you would like to help, please click on the link below and vote for the project:

Please note that voting closes on 3 December 2011.

Although you have to register on the Energyshare website, the whole process should only take a couple of minutes, and you can opt out of any further communications. Every vote counts, so Greener Leith would be grateful if this link is passed on to as many people as possible.
