RES - a strong track record in Scotland

RES is one of the world's leading independent renewable energy developers with operations across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific. RES grew out of Sir Robert McAlpine, a British family-owned firm with over 130 years experience in construction and engineering with a proud history in Scotland stretching from the Glenfinnan Viaduct to Hampden Park.

RES has been at the forefront of wind energy development since the 1970s and has developed and/or built 100 wind farms (or 5.3 Gigawatts (MW) of wind capacity) around the world, including 10% of the UK's wind energy. This includes seven wind farms in Scotland with a total generation capacity of more than 120 MW. In 2010, RES commenced construction of Hill of Towie Wind Farm in Moray and Kelburn Wind Farm in North Ayrshire.  Regional development in Scotland is managed from Glasgow by a growing team of over 50 staff.
