Summary
| Description |
English: Carno Wind Farm at Twr Gwyn Carno Wind Farm, http://www.cat.org.uk/grew/project.tmpl?command=search&db=grew.db&eqSKUdatarq=16&dir=grew opened 1996, was at the time of its completion the largest wind farm in Europe with 56 turbines installed with a total capacity of over 33 Megawatts. The towers, each over 30 metres high dominate the landscape for miles around. Opinions about wind farms are varied, with strongly opposed views about their value and desirability. On the two occasions when I visited the site, not one of the 56 turbines was turning, despite a moderate breeze. There may have been good technical reasons for this, but it does not make for good publicity for wind power. |
