Windfarm is back on stream

By David McKay, The Press and Journal, www.pressandjournal.co.uk 19 July 2011

An Aberdeenshire windfarm resumed operations yesterday after shutting down for four days following the unexplained death of a bullock.

The animal was found by John Wink, of Bainshole Farm, in a field at the 20-turbine Glens of Foudland site, near Huntly.

A post-mortem examination was not able to establish the cause of death, but the one-year-old bullock showed haemorrhaging around the heart, a possible sign of electrocution.

Operators Centrica took the windfarm off line on Thursday to allow for an investigation to be carried out.
