The third tower has been transported up the hill and has just been lifted into place successfully. The nacelle, which sits on the very top of the turbine tower, is also now at the top of the hill, awaiting the fourth and final tower piece to be lifted into place tomorrow, along with the blades. That concludes our second day down at site this week. Weather permitting, we are hoping this exciting stage of the build programme will be completed tomorrow.
