Tiree Trust

The turbine is up and now all that remains is for the electrical connections and testing to be completed. This requires the co-ordination of several teams of people – the turbine manufacturers, the national grid, the Hydro and local contractors. Nevertheless, TREL and the Trust are still hopeful that the turbine will be commissioned before the end of the year.

Name your Turbine!

Now that you have had a couple of weeks to get used to seeing your turbine up at Ruaig Sliabh, could you think about a name for him, her, it? Anyone can enter an idea for a name, in Gaelic, English, Scots or any other appropriate language (please provide a translation if not in English); submit your ideas in writing to the Trust office at An Talla by 31st December. Include your own name so you can take part in the official opening ceremony, which will probably be in February. The Trust Board will pick the best name. Please – nothing rude!
