Following extensive public consultation and technical assessment, Wind Prospect submitted a planning application to Boston Borough Council for a wind farm at Bicker Fen in March 2003. The proposal, consisting of thirteen 2 MW turbines with a total generating capacity of 26MW of green power, was given the green light by the Planning Committee in September 2003, with Councillors voting 12-0 in favour of the project.

The project is set to produce as much electricity as is consumed by 14,500 homes, resulting in 35,500 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions being avoided.

Wind Prospect is currently in consultation with the local Planning Authority and is undertaking a number of ecological and wildlife studies prior to the commencement of construction.

As well, an on-site investigation to assess the ground conditions has been conducted. Wind Prospect is presently developing turnkey contracts with our partners SIIF Energies for the project.
