Double The Coverage For Banks Renewables

Banks Renewables have scooped two items of coverage in The Galloway News with an article on their scaled down plans at Knockendurrick and a full page advertising feature, exemplifying our advertorial copyrighting service.

The renewable energy firm had originally planned to build 10 wind turbines on the site, but after a series of public meetings, they have cut that number to 7.

The article also highlights their community partnership scheme which would see communities share 3% of the wind farm’s annual gross revenue.

As part of our advertorial service the full page spread highlights Banks Renewables “Meet the Buyer” event, a chance for local businesses to get involved in the development, construction and operation of the proposed Knockendurrick Wind Farm.
