A challenge which supplies Google Avenue View customers an inside view of renewable power websites launched on 29 October.
From a hydropower plant deep beneath a mountain to the highest of a wind turbine, Scottish Renewables’ Renewables360 is described as a first-of-its-kind.
“It takes the public behind the scenes of the country’s 42,000-strong, £10 billion a year renewable energy industry,” says the commerce group.
Inexperienced electrical energy and warmth tasks seem as blue dots on Google Maps, so are seen to anybody shopping Google Avenue View, and are introduced collectively in a hub on the Renewables360 house web page.
Claire Mack, Chief Govt of Scottish Renewables, stated: “The power business is central to all our lives, however till now the best way by which electrical energy and warmth are generated has been one thing of a thriller to the general public.

Websites that are coated by the Renewables360 challenge embrace the world’s largest floating offshore wind farm close to Aberdeen, the UK’s first large-scale, high-temperature water supply warmth pump and the highest of one of many UK’s tallest onshore wind generators.
Footage taken deep contained in the 440MW ‘hollow mountain’ pumped storage hydropower plant in Argyll additionally function, alongside photographs from contained in the world’s strongest tidal turbine in Orkney.
The complete checklist is:
- Cruachan pumped storage hydropower station, Argyll
- Kincardine floating offshore wind farm, Aberdeen
- Muirhall onshore wind farm, Lanarkshire
- Orbital O2 tidal turbine at EMEC, Orkney
- Queens Quay water supply warmth pump, Clydebank
- Renewable Elements warehouse, Renfrew
- Photo voltaic EV chargers and battery, Stirling
- Stirling Vitality Centre – taking warmth from waste water
- A renewable power management room, Glasgow
- EMEC’s wave and tidal power take a look at websites, Orkney
Claire continued: “A few of the locations we’ve visited to deliver Renewables360 collectively are really outstanding. The photographs which at the moment are accessible for the world to view are breathtaking and take the general public to locations they’d by no means in any other case have the ability to go to.
“Renewables now provide more than 100% of Scotland’s electricity demand. As an industry we believe that’s something which everyone in Scotland can be proud of and should be able to share. Renewables360 is one part of that, and this is just the start – as our industry continues to grow we’re seeking more projects to include so that Renewables360 becomes a world-class resource which we hope others will copy.”
