Nutsgrove Wind Farm
The proposed wind farm would be located on land to the north
of Thorney Toll, approximately 5 km north east of Thorney
near Peterborough. The cluster will consist of 7 wind turbines,
with a capacity of 2 MW each.
The energy generated from the wind farm would have the potential
to provide renewable electricity to approximately 7,500 homes,
whilst eliminating almost 20,000 tonnes per year of harmful
carbon dioxide currently produced by conventional power stations.
This reduction in emissions would essentially be equivalent
to removing 4,500 cars off the road.
A proportion of the revenue from the wind cluster would
be offered to establish a Trust Fund for local community service
programmes and initiatives. The amount offered will be based
on the yearly energy output achieved during the lifetime of
the development - estimated to be around 25 years. How the
Trust Fund is used will be for the local community to decide.
