Completed in November 2005, the Green Park wind turbine is Ecotricity's latest finished project. Towering over junction 11 of the M4 motorway, the turbine is the UK's most visible, seen by as many as 60 million people a year transiting this busy junction of the M4.

This latest turbine features state-of-the-art blade technology for maximum efficiency, and represents the next step into the future for multi-megawatt class turbines in the UK.

The Green Park turbine supplies 100% green energy straight into the local grid, to the benefit of over 1,000 homes and businesses in the area.

The 85m turbine soars above the M4 motorway, as a truly impressive icon for a sustainable future. Equally impressive, the turbine will generate 3.5 million units of electricity a year.

Ecotricity supplies homes and business across the UK with clean, green electricity from renewable sources. Click here to join now, and help us build more stunning turbines that will actively combat climate change.
