The 2.3 megawatt (MW) machines will be used at the Clyde wind farm in South Lanarkshire 70 kilometers south of Glasgow which will have a total capacity of up to 350 MW. The wind farm will be commissioned in 2012. Clyde could become the largest onshore wind farm in Europe in only two years. The scale of the Clyde wind farm reflects UK's ambitions to become forerunner in green technologies.
