Site Statistics


Number of wind turbines10
Installed capacity of projectbetween 15 and 25 Megawatts
Number of average homes supplied
annually equivalent to project generation
between 8,100 and 10,600 homes each year¹
Height of turbines121 metres to the tip (highest point)


Notes
¹Energy predicted to be generated by the proposal is derived using wind speeds monitored in the local area and correlating to a Met. Office station providing longer term data. This enables a calculation to be made to estimate the average annual energy production for the site based on 10 turbines each of rated capacity of between 1.5 and 2MW. The energy capture predicted and hence derived homes equivalent or emissions savings figures may change as further data are gathered.  Equivalent homes supplied is based on an annual electricity consumption per home of 4700 kWh. This figure is supported by recent domestic electricity consumption data available from The Digest of UK Energy Statistics and household estimates and projections from the UK Statistics Authority.
