Site Statistics
Number of wind turbines | 50 |
| Installed capacity of project | Up to 150 megawatts |
| Number of average homes supplied | Between 76,800 and 98,300 average UK households.(1) |
| Height of turbines | up 137 metres to tip (highest point) |
Notes
(1) Energy predicted to be generated by the proposal is derived using wind speeds monitored in the local area and correlating to a RWE npower renewables meteorological mast in the nearby area providing longer term data. This enables a calculation to be made to estimate the average annual energy production for the site based on 50 turbines each of a rated capacity of between 2 MW to 3 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.
