By the time you see this image, the turbines will have gone. Erected in 1994, they're simply out of date, and over the next couple of weeks, the ten 30m-tall Windmaster turbines (collectively generating 7 million kWh pa, enough to power Caton and Hornby villages) will be replaced by eight 55 m Vestas turbines, collectively generating 37 million kWh pa, enough to power half of Lancaster. I didn't think the Windmasters were noisy, and I spent numerous windy nights very close to them (this is part of my PhD research catchment), but the Vestas will rotate at half the speed and are expected to be even quieter. I think they're great, and I'm pro-nuclear! |
