Whitelee Wind Farm is one of the biggest wind farms in Europe and was commissioned in May 2009. Located on Eaglesham Moor, 15km from Glasgow, Scotland, it initially had 140 turbines generating 322MW of electricity, sufficient to power 200,000 homes. It is also the first wind farm to be located close to a large population, with more than 500,000 living within a 30km radius
