Our biggest Merchant Wind Power project to date comes on line

All three turbines are now up and running, generating New Green electricity and saving thousands of tones of carbon emissions - over 15,000 in fact - this year and every year for the next 30 years.

And they look stunning! The view from the M5 across the water is truly breathtaking. The Avonmouth Docks have been transformed with the addition of these state-of-the-art turbines, generating enough clean energy to power most of the Dock's energy requirements.
