FN1 - The average annual generation expected at the site would be equivalent to the approximate domestic needs of around 12,000 average UK households.

Energy 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 2.05 MW. 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.
