Go-ahead for multi-million turbine plan is boost for Vestas
Posted: Thu Jul 27, 2006 11:04 pmA multi-million pound windfarm project in the Fens has been given the green light after developer E.on UK signed a major contract.
The £13.6m turbine supply contract will be carried out by Vestas Celtic Wind Technology, which is based at Campbeltown in Argyll and Bute.
The scheme will see a total of nine Vestas turbines sited at Stag's Holt, near March in Cambridgeshire.
The windfarm will have an installed capacity of 18MW, generating enough to power the equivalent of 11,000 homes.
Jason Scagell, director of E.on UK Renewables, said: “This is a major step forward in the development of Stag's Holt Wind Farm and we expect to begin work in the autumn.”
