Climate change and the looming energy crisis (the ultimate double whammy), means questions of how we keep the lights on for our children and grandchildren have never been more pressing.
The answer to both is to harness indigenous sources of renewable energy - like wind power.
These four turbines will make a huge contribution - powering over a quarter of the homes in Torridge, from a fuel source that doesn't come from Russia or the Middle East. And the electricity will be available to local people to power their homes with.

Since getting planning permission for this site we have been working on discharging all the planning conditions. We hope to start construction on this site in early 2012.
After a second application submitted to the planning commitee our plans for this wind park have been approved. We’ll be following the construction of the turbines here with regular updates and images from the site.
