South Lakeland District Council approved a planning application to extend consent for Lambrigg Wind Farm by an additional 10 years.

Lissett is a long-established village in the Holderness area of Yorkshire's East Riding. Mentioned in the Domesday Book, the village has an interesting recent history as it was home to the Royal Air Force's 158 Squadron during the Second World War. During a two-year period towards the end of the war, 158 Squadron's Halifax Bombers completed 250 missions, suffering the loss of 144 aircraft and 851 airmen. A memorial sculpture featuring seven airmen was erected on the base and is dedicated to the memory of those lost during the war. The 12 wind turbines on the site are also named in commemoration of the site's wartime past with eleven turbines named after aircraft that flew from the airfield and the twelfth to commemorate the six airmen who perished on July 2nd, 1943 due to an explosion in the bomb dump. Today, the village has a population of around 240 and its tranquil former airfield is home to 12 turbines, each rated at 2.5MW, giving the site an installed capacity of 30MW able to generate enough energy to power 24,754 homes.

Llyn Alaw (which means Lily Lake in English) is a reservoir near the town of Amlwch on the island of Anglesey. The reservoir was created by the flooding of marshlands in 1966 and it supplies 35 million litres of water a day to the northern half of the island. Llyn Alaw Wind Farm is situated to the north of the small village of Llanbabo which is close to the reservoir's eastern shore. Construction work on Llyn Alaw Wind Farm began in 1996 and it opened in October 1997. The site has 34 turbines rated at 600kW, giving the wind farm an installed capacity of 20.4MW and the ability to generate enough energy to power 16,832 homes.

If you're ever driving between junctions 20 and 21 on the south bound side of the M1, you'll most likely spot the four most amusingly named wind turbines in England. Before it opened in November 2011, Low Spinney Wind Farm's turbines were named by school children from Gilmorton. Acquired in May 2012, the four turbines are rated at just over 2MW, giving the site an installed capacity of 8.2MW with the ability to generate enough energy to power 6,766 homes.

Millennium Wind Farm is situated six miles west of Fort Augustus and has been operational since 2009. Funding from Millennium is administered by Fort Augustus and Glenmoriston Community Company and the Glengarry Trust.

As it becomes vital to combat climate change by producing more electricity from renewable sources, allowing fossil fuels to be phased out, we are proposing to extend the existing Millennium Wind Farm west of Fort Augustus and north of Invergarry.
Our proposal is for up to eight wind turbines to the east of the existing wind farm with an installed capacity of around 56 MW

Minsca Wind Farm is situated near the village of Bankshill, east of Lockerbie in Dumfries and Galloway. Minsca comprises 16 wind turbines each rated at 2.3MW, with an overall site capacity of 36.8MW.

Mynydd Gorddu Wind Farm can be found in the county of Ceredigion, approximately 3km south east of the village of Tal-y-bont which itself is midway between the towns of Aberystwyth and Machynlleth. Historically, Tal-y-bont has close associations with lead and silver mining and with the woollen mills that once dominated the local economy. Work on the construction of the wind farm began in the winter of 1997 and it was completed in the spring of 1998. Mynydd Gorddu Wind Farm has one of the most consistent outputs in the country. Its 19 turbines are of two different types, rated at 550kW and 600kW respectively. They have the capacity to generate 10.8MW of power, enough to supply 8,911 homes with electricity.

Where once there was open-cast mining for energy of a different kind, the North Steads Wind Farm generates enough power to run 15,223 homes. The wind farm is located on land that was part of the East Chevington (Maidens Hall/Steadsburn) opencast coal mine, which ceased operations in 1991. It was then restored to forestry and farmland in 2000 with work on the turbines beginning in August 2015. Six of the nine turbines are located within the forested area, with the remaining three in arable fields to the south. The project is also a close neighbour to the four-turbine 8.2MW Sisters Wind Farm which is also owned by Nadara. Acquired in 2015, North Steads' nine turbines are rated at just over 2MW, giving the site an installed capacity of 18.45MW.

Novar Wind Farm sits in a picturesque Highland location approximately 5.5 miles west of Alness. From its elevated position on an extensive Easter Ross shooting estate it enjoys commanding views of the Cromarty Firth and Ben Wyvis. As well as being steeped in the history of Scotland's Highland clans, the area is well known for its contribution to Highland employment with a number of light and heavy industries based locally. The yards at Invergordon and Nigg play a significant role in offshore development in the oil and gas sectors and, more recently, have been heavily involved in fabrication for renewables including offshore wind farms. Novar was built in 1997 and its 34 turbines are rated at 500kW giving the site has an installed capacity of 17MW, generating enough energy to power 14,027 homes.
