Plan For England’s Largest Wind Farm ‘Scaled Back’
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.
This is the sub-heading.
Plans for the largest onshore wind farm in England have been scaled back by a developer.
These two introductory paragraphs add more details.
Calderdale Energy Park said it would apply for permission to build 41 turbines instead of the 65 originally planned on land near Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire.
A consultation period has now begun and people have been invited to submit their views on the project over the next six weeks.
Note.
- The number of wind turbines has been reduced by 37 %.
- Are the turbines now larger?
- In another paragraph, the developers say the solar element has been removed.
- Batteries, which I feel are essential to smooth the output of wind farms, are not mentioned.
Given comments by Stop Calderdale Wind Farm about peat bogs, there will be a large fight over building this wind farm.

Happened to be in Hebden Bridge yesterday and its set in a beautiful value with rising hills all around turbines will be an eyesore but thats the price for net zero. Personally we should have all in nukes 30 years ago but that boat has sailed now

I think in a few years time, turbines and solar panels will be more discrete.
Large retail and other shed roots will be structural solar panels.
Already Network Rail have installed one roof at Denmark Hill station.
I also have high hopes for vertical turbines, like the one on Skegness Pier.
