Our studies show that the site has potential for seven turbines. Each turbine would be up to 127m high, to the tip of the blade.
The turbine layout is shown below.

A seven turbine wind farm would have an indicative installed
capacity of at least 12.6MW. A wind farm of this size would be
likely to generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of
approximately 7,600 homes*, or all of the homes within the wards of
Burnham on Crouch North, Burnham on Crouch South, Southminster,
Tillingham and Althorne.
We are confident that this is a very good site for a wind farm and
that a sensitively- designed project will be an asset to the area.
We will submit a planning application to Maldon District Council
following the completion of our environmental investigations. We
will keep the local community informed on when the application is
to be submitted.
We will be updating this website as plans for the wind farm evolve, so please keep an eye out for future updates.
