Site Statistics
Blood Hill
| Location | West Somerton, Norfolk |
| Project scope | 10 turbines |
| Turbine height | 30m to hub |
| Total power | 2.25MW |
Blood Hill Wind Farm is our smallest development. In 2005 it generated enough power to supply nearly 1,000 homes.
The wind farm has been operating since December 1992 and took just under four months to construct in a project involving local contractors. In 2005 it saved around 15 tonnes of sulphur dioxide and five tonnes of nitrous oxides from being released into the atmosphere.
The site covers an area of 3 hectares, but less than 1% of this land is taken up by the turbines and access tracks.
