Just saying. Seems The Examiner knows where they'll be sited. As for how many - aim for 100% of peak demand (or something like that). Initial outlay - depends on whether the DOI is involved.

If it was 50/50 then that’s 15mw of wind. That’s about 4 units, depending on the size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that doesn't include drax wood pellet power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
