Seal of approval for Gaia-Wind plant
GAIA-wind, the Dutch domestic turbine maker which is establishing a £5 million factory in Port Dundas in Glasgow, has won "essential" certification which ensures customers can claim back cash from green energy exported to the National Grid.
Johnnie Andringa, the manufacturer's managing director, hailed the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) accreditation as a "huge breakthrough" for the firm. Certification also simplifies the planning permission process for wind turbines, the firm said.
