The mast’s instrumentation will be used to obtain the wind data essential to ensure the optimal running of the windfarm’s turbines. The new windfarm is expected to become operational from 2025 and will consist of six turbines with tip heights up to 250-metres. These will generate up to 36MW of electricity – sufficient to provide green electricity to more than 21,000 homes. **Dulas’s Business Development Manager, Donald Spiers, said:** ‘We are delighted to be working with Banks Group, who have a long heritage of developing successful renewable energy installations in the north of England and Scotland. Their ‘Development with Care’ model provides the gold standard for engaging with local communities and winning their support for projects that further the UK’s drive towards carbon-free energy.’ **Frazer Harrison, Development Engineer at Banks, was equally pleased with the deal, saying Dulas:** ‘have been an excellent partner in shaping and delivering the Mill Rig Temporary Met Mast project to the highest standard. Their support will contribute to the delivery of the Mill Rig Wind Farm project for the benefit of the local community and Scotland as a whole.’ By [Annika Faircloth](https://dulas.org.uk/author/dulasannika/) Published On: June 28, 2021 Share: [https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdulas.org.uk%2Fdulas-to-install-meteorological-mast-at-mill-rig-windfarm%2F&t=Share%3A](https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdulas.org.uk%2Fdulas-to-install-meteorological-mast-at-mill-rig-windfarm%2F&t=Share%3A) [https://x.com/intent/post?text=Share%3A&url=https%3A%2F%2Fdulas.org.uk%2Fdulas-to-install-meteorological-mast-at-mill-rig-windfarm%2F](https://x.com/intent/post?text=Share%3A&url=https%3A%2F%2Fdulas.org.uk%2Fdulas-to-install-meteorological-mast-at-mill-rig-windfarm%2F) [https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fdulas.org.uk%2Fdulas-to-install-meteorological-mast-at-mill-rig-windfarm%2F&title=Share%3A&summary=Dulas%20has%20been%20commissioned%20by%20Banks%20Renewables%20to%20erect%20an%2080-metre%20meteorological%20mast%20at%20the%20Mill%20Rig%20windfarm%20under%20development%20in%20South%20Lanarkshire.%20The%20mast%E2%80%99s%20instrumentation%20will%20be%20used%20to%20obtain%20the%20wind%20data%20essential%20to%20ensure%20the%20optimal%20running%20of%20the%20windfarm%E2%80%99s%20turbines.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe%20new%20windfarm%20is%20expected%20to%20become%20operational%20from%202025%20and%20will](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fdulas.org.uk%2Fdulas-to-install-meteorological-mast-at-mill-rig-windfarm%2F&title=Share%3A&summary=Dulas%20has%20been%20commissioned%20by%20Banks%20Renewables%20to%20erect%20an%2080-metre%20meteorological%20mast%20at%20the%20Mill%20Rig%20windfarm%20under%20development%20in%20South%20Lanarkshire.%20The%20mast%E2%80%99s%20instrumentation%20will%20be%20used%20to%20obtain%20the%20wind%20data%20essential%20to%20ensure%20the%20optimal%20running%20of%20the%20windfarm%E2%80%99s%20turbines.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe%20new%20windfarm%20is%20expected%20to%20become%20operational%20from%202025%20and%20will) [https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=https%3A%2F%2Fdulas.org.uk%2Fdulas-to-install-meteorological-mast-at-mill-rig-windfarm%2F](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=https%3A%2F%2Fdulas.org.uk%2Fdulas-to-install-meteorological-mast-at-mill-rig-windfarm%2F) [mailto:?subject=Share%3A&body=https%3A%2F%2Fdulas.org.uk%2Fdulas-to-install-meteorological-mast-at-mill-rig-windfarm%2F](mailto:?subject=Share%3A&body=https%3A%2F%2Fdulas.org.uk%2Fdulas-to-install-meteorological-mast-at-mill-rig-windfarm%2F) Celebrating World Immunisation Week: Protecting Communities Together Celebrating World Immunisation Week: Protecting Communities Together [Read more](https://dulas.org.uk/celebrating-world-immunisation-week-protecting-communities-together/) Dulas Life Sciences at Clinical Pharmacy Congress 2026 Dulas Life Sciences at Clinical Pharmacy Congress 2026 [Read more](https://dulas.org.uk/dulas-life-sciences-at-clinical-pharmacy-congress-2026/) Engineered for the long term Engineered for the long term [Read more](https://dulas.org.uk/engineered-for-the-long-term/) Cooling the world’s crisis zones: A record start to 2026 Cooling the world’s crisis zones: A record start to 2026 [Read more](https://dulas.org.uk/cooling-the-worlds-crisis-zones-a-record-start-to-2026/) Powering progress: Looking back on a remarkable year at Dulas Powering progress: Looking back on a remarkable year at Dulas [Read more](https://dulas.org.uk/powering-progress-looking-back-on-a-remarkable-year-at-dulas/) Reflections from the first major trade mission to India Reflections from the first major trade mission to India [Read more](https://dulas.org.uk/reflections-from-the-first-major-trade-mission-to-india/) Dulas joins Prime Minister and business leaders on first major trade mission to India Dulas joins Prime Minister and business leaders on first major trade mission to India [Read more](https://dulas.org.uk/dulas-joins-prime-minister-and-business-leaders-on-first-major-trade-mission-to-india/) Dulas and the Sustainable Development Goals Dulas and the Sustainable Development Goals [Read more](https://dulas.org.uk/dulas-and-the-sustainable-development-goals/) Soaring to new heights with our tilt-up masts Soaring to new heights with our tilt-up masts [Read more](https://dulas.org.uk/soaring-to-new-heights-with-our-tilt-up-masts/) Innovative Welsh Exporter Puts Britain at the Forefront of Global Immunisation Efforts Innovative Welsh Exporter Puts Britain at the Forefront of Global Immunisation Efforts [Read more](https://dulas.org.uk/innovative-welsh-exporter-puts-britain-at-the-forefront-of-global-immunisation-efforts/) Have you seen our new look?
