Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Site yard at Carno Wind Farm Carno Wind Farm, http://www.cat.org.uk/grew/project.tmpl?command=search&db=grew.db&eqSKUdatarq=16&dir=grew opened 1996, was at the time of its completion the largest wind farm in Europe with 56 turbines installed with a total capacity of over 33 Megawatts. The towers, each over 30 metres high dominate the landscape for miles around. Opinions about wind farms are varied, with strongly opposed views about their value and desirability. On the two occasions when I visited the site, not one of the 56 turbines was turning, despite a moderate breeze. There may have been good technical reasons for this, but it does not make for good publicity for wind power.
This image shows the site yard of Jones Brothers who are responsible for the development of Carno II Wind Farm http://www.fimltd.co.uk/downloads/Carno%20Presss%20Release%20Feb%202008.pdf which is under construction to the north of the original site. The new site will consist of twelve turbines or even larger size (49 metre high towers) with a total capacity of 15.6 Mw. New roads have been put in, but there is little sign yet of the new turbines. The published completion date of October 2008 looks decidedly optimistic. |
