English: Scout Moor Wind Turbine Construction. The top 22 metre 55 ton section of Turbine Tower No 16 is lowered gently into place early in the morning.
This was the very first tower to be constructed on Scout Moor but it would be February 2008 before the cranes returned and the blades were attached due to strong winds during the winter months. 623999 696211 633643 696917 777641 687214 Turbine details: Tower Height: 60m Blade Length: 40m Total Max Height: 100m Manufacturer: Nordex Model: N80 Key Facts http://www.scoutmoorwindfarm.co.uk/keyfacts.html Scout Moor Wind Farm Picture Gallery https://www.geograph.org.uk/gallery/scoutmoor_wind_farm_construction_6568 By June 2008 engineers had constructed 26 wind turbine towers and installed 78 turbine blades 450 metres above sea level on Scout Moor amid adverse weather conditions of thick fog, gale force winds,torrential rain,snow and ice during the winter months of 2008. Following a public inquiry held in 2004, planning consent was granted by the Secretary of State on the 25th May 2005 for the building of Scout Moor Wind Farm. On the 25th of September 2008 dignitaries from across the North West were invited to the official opening of the Scout Moor wind farm. Children from Edenfield Primary School, who have enjoyed lessons based around the wind farm, were on hand to cut the ribbon at Turbine No 22.https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/980311 Head Teacher at Edenfield Primary School, Janet Reidy, said: "It was superb for the children to be involved after all the work they had done about the wind farm in their lessons. I think they will all remember this in future years and now they know what it's like to be film stars with all the camera crews there!" Richard Dibley, wind power development manager at Peel, said at the opening: "We have welcomed people here today to thank them for their patience and understanding during the construction period and for them to see the wind farm in action at close quarters. I think we have chosen the perfect site here as it is more than 50% windier up here than it is in the surrounding area. These turbines will be generating power for years to come using a natural resource that will never run out." |
