The wind farm, which was commissioned in March 1997 after three months of construction, is unique in our portfolio as the only project using twin-bladed turbines.

It is estimated Great Eppleton generates enough electricity to supply 1,300 homes, whilst at the same time saving approximately 21 tonnes of sulphur dioxide and seven tonnes of nitrous oxides annually from reaching the atmosphere. Great Eppleton also saves over 2,400 tonnes of carbon dioxide, which is equivalent to the emissions produced from powering 20,640 PC's for a year.

The wind farm is not normally manned as the turbines are remotely monitored from E.ON Renewable’s Rheidol Power Station.
