Draft Plans for the Public Consultation

The candidate wind turbine is an Enercon E70 at 64 metres to hub height and 71 metres rotor (totalling 99.5 metres to tip). This is a well known manufacturer with a good reputation for reliability and performance. These wind turbines have sophisticated operational capabilities, including feathering the blades to mitigate noise and shadow flicker to ensure compliance with strict amenity protections at all times.

Each turbine is rated at 2.06MW totalling over 14MW total capacity for the proposed development. The candidate turbines operate well and reliably in a wide range of wind speeds and the proposed repowering is conservatively modelled to produce a total of over 32,000MWh (approximately 11,850 houses on the typical OFGEN UK home).
