STAFF from renewable energy developer CWP Energy have visited the company's flagship Sanquhar II Wind Farm as part of celebrations marking its 25th anniversary.

The event brought together all 40 employees from across the business, giving them the opportunity to see first-hand the progress being made on one of the company's largest projects.

The visit also served as a chance to reflect on CWP Energy's growth since its founding in 2001 and recognise the contribution of staff to the company's success over the past quarter-century.

Construction work at Sanquhar II continues to advance, with all 44 turbine foundations now completed and 14 turbines erected.

CWP Energy said the project is one of its most significant developments to date and forms part of its ongoing work to support the UK's transition to low-carbon energy.

The company has grown from a small renewable energy developer into an independent business involved in the development, construction and operation of renewable energy projects across the UK.

As well as generating clean energy, the firm said it remains committed to delivering benefits for local communities alongside its developments.

Rod Wood, managing director of CWP Energy, said: “Bringing the entire team to Sanquhar II Wind Farm was a fitting way to mark the occasion.

This project represents not only the future of renewable energy but also the expertise, commitment and hard work of the people behind CWP Energy.

To stand together on site and see all 44 turbine foundations completed, and 14 turbines already erected was a proud moment for everyone involved.

I would like to thank our employees, stakeholders, contractors, landowners and the communities we have worked alongside over the past 25 years.

Their support has been instrumental in our success, and we look forward to building on that legacy as we continue delivering renewable energy projects for decades to come.”
