Greystone Knowe Wind Farm
Site Location
The site location is shown on the plan below:
Why Greystone Knowe?
Coriolis Energy have identified the proposed development site as having good potential for a wind farm for the following key reasons:
- The area was considered likely to have a suitable wind speed
- Absence of statutory nationally designated areas/sites of landscape, cultural or natural heritage importance on site
- Easily accessible from the trunk road network
- Significant potential for a positive contribution to the environment.
What is currently being proposed?
Number of turbines: up to 14
Maximum height of turbines: up to 180m to blade tip
Capacity of each turbine: around 5MW
In addition to the turbines, important infrastructure such as an onsite substation, access tracks and underground cabling form key components of the proposed wind farm. The potential for energy storage is also being evaluated.
