Spanish industrial giant FCC plans to plant wind turbines
on British rubbish dumps in a move to produce more green energy
with less public protest.
Many proposed onshore wind farms have been blocked or delayed
for years in Britain by strong opposition from local residents,
forcing developers to build more expensive offshore projects,
while Spain's onshore wind industry has flourished.
FCC
plans to spend up to €114 million on installing up to
a total of 80 megawatts (MW) of wind turbines at some of the
100 landfill sites it owns through its Waste Recycling Group
(WRG)
subsidiary across Britain, according to the company's website.
FCC already has 533MW of wind capacity installed across Spain,
Austria and Britain.
