Menstrie's wind turbine Three blades atop a pylon silhouetted against a cloudy sky

|d| By June 2009, the Pimary School's wind turbine had generated 5733 kWh electricity since installation in September 2007.

[This averages about 9 kWh electricity a day, roughly equivalent to the electricity used by two people for lighting, television, computer, electric kettle, fridge, freezer, cleaning, washing machine and central heating pump but not the home heating itself, nor cooking or tumble drying. - ed.]
