The Proposal

Ecotricity is planning to build an Enercon E-66/2MW wind turbine at GreenPark near Reading, to generate 3.5 million units (kWh) of green electricity every year.

 

How will it benefit the local community?

- clean power for over 1,000 local homes -
that's 2% of Wokingham households

- 20% of the project's costs are invested into
the local community through the employment
of local contractors and suppliers

 

= power for 1,063 homes


How will it benefit the environment?

GreenPark wind turbine will save the annual
emission of :-

  • carbon dioxide (CO2 ): 3,018 tonnes
  • sulphur dioxide (SO2 ): 35 tonnes
  • nitrogen oxides (NOX ): 11 tonnes
  • several tonnes of ash and slag
