As reported in last week’s Banner the scheme is the brainchild of farmer Kenneth Bone, and the 500kw scheme will power as many as 500 houses on the island.
At the opening ceremony, Mr Bone thanked everyone who had helped bring the project to fruition, while Neil McGeogh, managing director of the joint venture partner, MEG Renewables, also spoke of his pleasure at being involved with the scheme.
