In 2006 RWE npower renewables submitted a planning application to East Lindsey District Council for wind farm located on farm land between Anderby, Anderby Creek and Chapel St Leonards.
 
The wind farm proposal is for six wind turbines and it is anticipated that these would produce enough renewable electricity for the average annual needs of between 5,500 and 7,900 homes¹.
 
Charlotte Healey, Renewables Developer at RWE npower renewables said, “There is a very real and urgent need to meet renewable energy targets and Langham Wind Farm would generate enough electricity to meet the annual average needs of thousands of homes each year and reduce emissions of carbon dioxide.”
 
“RWE npower renewables is an experienced developer of wind farms and we hope to have a decision made on this proposal in the near future.”
 
“The formal consultation period regarding Langham Wind Farm has now ended and we are awaiting determination of the scheme by East Lindsey District Council. However, RWE npower renewables will continue respond to enquiries from members of the public directly. The best way to contact us is using the project email address which is langham@npower-renewables.com

Footnotes
Based on an annual electricity consumption per home of 4700 kWh, which is derived from a total UK domestic electricity consumption of 117.589 terawatt-hours (TWh) and 25.2 million UK households giving 4,666 kWh per year per household. UK energy consumption is as stated for 2004 in The Digest of UK Energy Statistics 2005 The number of UK households is as stated for 2003 in the Mid-year Household Estimates for England (21.1 m), Northern Ireland (0.65 m), Scotland (2.2 m) and Wales (1.2 m) published in 2004 by the Office for National Statistics. The energy predicted to be generated by the proposal is derived from monitoring wind speeds in the area and correlating this data to wind speeds measured at Met. Office stations. This enables a calculation to be made to estimate the average annual energy production for the site based on 6 turbines with a total rated capacity of between 9 and 15MW. The energy capture and equivalent homes figure relating to this project may change as more information is gathered.
