Environment Agency plans to generate 200 megawatts of renewable energy from wind turbines(01/12/2008)
The Environment Agency has announced proposals to generate its own renewable energy – enough to power a city the size of York – at its sites across England and Wales. As part of the plans, up to 80 wind turbines could be built on Environment Agency owned land across the country, generating around 200 megawatts of renewable energy – enough to power 90,000 households and save around 200,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. In addition the turbines will generate up to £2.4 million of reve... [more]
