Wind Farm plans revealed

Plans of the proposed giant wind farm west of the Isle of Wight & 12 miles from the New Forest coastline (Sounds like that could be due south of Milford on Sea?), will be on display at St Thomas’s Church Hall on the 11th November. The Wind Farm would apparently be the size of Anglesey & if approved building would commence in 2016.

The Wind Farm would be built by a Dutch company, Eneco, & would comprise of 200 wind turbines rising 145 metres from the water. It has been reported in the Daily Echo that the £175m scheme will generate enough electricity to power about 500,000 homes and is expected to bring more than 2,000 jobs to the area. An Eneco representative was reported in the Daily Echo as saying: “They will only be seen far in the distance on a clear day.” Whilst it is likely that environmental groups will raise objections, it appears that support can be found in council offices & at Westminster. If you would like to see the plans, ask questions or air your views you can visit the exhibition below.
