Hot off the press - we've just been granted permission for our Alveston Wind Park.
We're chuffed to bits. This is a great site for wind turbines. We'd like to thank those councilors that made this possible and all the local people who expressed their support. This is a vital step towards energy independence - securing our future energy needs, from our own local source - the wind.
These three wind turbines will provide enough clean power each year for over 5,000 local homes.
