With the UK being the windiest country in Europe we are well placed to take advantage of this natural resource. Wind energy is regarded as one of our most promising renewable energy technologies - it's a relatively mature industry and is long established as a viable option for UK power generation.

We are committed to the development of wind farms, both onshore and offshore and have a significant number of projects in various stages of development.

We have started construction of our nineteenth onshore wind farm, Stag's Holt, in Cambridgeshire as well as our third offshore wind farm, Robin Rigg, located in the Solway Firth.

We are partners in the development of one of the world's largest offshore wind farms, London Array and in May 2007 we received planning consent to re-power our wind site at Great Eppleton - this means replacing the old turbines with four new ones. The new site will be able to generate four times the power of the existing turbines at Great Eppleton.
