Wind

Wind Power
The UK has more usable wind power than any other European country. Wind turbines capture this energy and turn it into electricity. They come in many shapes and sizes, from tiny ones , which fit on a small roof providing very limited power, right up to massive ones located off-shore with potential to power 1000 homes or more.

The scale of project we are interested in might lend itself to a medium sized turbine capable of generating around 450 megawatt hours of electricity per year, or enough to power about 100 homes. This would be similar to the existing turbines visible from the Parkway, on the way into Sheffield from Junction 31 of the M1.
