This one too, part of the same group, if I'm not wrong.

Doesn't tell you anything about it being a community project. Just wondered if anyone knew any detail. Cheers for the link anyway.

Link still works for me. Roseland is mentioned at the bottom of the article you linked too.
Wonder how many other green saving companies are part of the same group.
I also wonder who's the overall boss of Rosewell, a mate of someone in gov ?
Oops, can I say that  ::)

I  know the nimbys have been trying to prevent windfarms around Bolsover for quite a while. I believe this is misguided, we can't rely on fossil fuels indefinitely.
