Windfarms of the UK Vol 2
"Wales"
For FS2004 / FS2002
By Dale Sedgwick

This scenery places 13 wind farms into the Wales. A total of 355 individual wind generators creating enough power for nearly 98 thousand Homes annually. They are geographically correct and designed to fit perfectly with Visual flight / Getmapping VFR Photographic scenery. Now with much better turbine model made by John "Bones" Woodside

This is only a small part of the UK's Wind energy production. At the time of writing there are 84 seperate projects in the UK Thats 1063 Turbines in total producing just over 655 megawatts of energy, thats the equivalent of the amount of energy that 411,000 homes would use a year. Reducing CO2 emmisions by 1,480,000 tonnes. This sounds like alot but in reality renewable energy sources in the UK currently generate almost 3% of the total electricity supply, 14% of which comes from wind energy ( this means 0.41% of the total electricity supply is windpower.) Working towards 15% of total electricity supply by 2015.

Ever thought about the idea of having a wind turbine producing electricity for yourself, and putting some back into the national grid, of which you get paid for? Visit Clearskys for more info & grants available
