Michelin Tyre Factory, Dundee

Completed in May 2006, Michelin's Dundee factory is now the proud recipient of two state-of-the-art wind turbines.

With a combined capacity of 4MW, the turbines will generate an estimated 8 million units of clean electricity to help power the factory as well as homes in the surrounding area.

We're delighted to be working with Michelin to reduce their environmental impact, and are thrilled that an everyday product such as Michelin tyres will soon be produced using clean green energy from Ecotricity.

Dale Vince, founder of Ecotricity, said 'this latest step in our campaign to fight climate change with Michelin is really significant. We are delighted to work with Michelin to help reduce their environmental impact, as we already are with Sainsbury's, Co-op, Ford and the Prudential. This exciting new project will deliver clean, green energy and save Michelin money.'

Following hard on the heels of Ford's clean diesel plant at Dagenham, this latest project represents another milestone in Ecotricity's partnership schemes with big business.
