Ardrossan Wind Farm is wind power plant in Ardrossan, North Ayrshire, Scotland was officially opened on August 10, 2004. The capacity of this wind farm is 24 megawatt (MW). The Vestas factory in Argyll, which now employs more than 200 people, has supplied the wind turbines for the Airtricity development. The company is providing access to the site for schools and other interested community groups to learn more about wind power.
The Ardrossan Wind Farm has been "overwhelmingly accepted by local people". Instead of spoiling the landscape, locals believe it has enhanced the area: "The wind turbines are impressive looking, bring a calming effect to the town and, contrary to the belief that they would be noisy, we have found them to be silent workhorses".
