ScottishPower Renewables officially opened the newly repowered Coal Clough windfarm near Burnley today.
Over the past 18 months the company has invested GBP 22.5 million to replace 24 wind turbines installed in 1992, with eight modern turbines, increasing the total generating capacity of the windfarm from 9.6MW to 16MW. Coal Clough was one of the first commercial windfarms to be built anywhere in the UK when it became operational in 1992, and is now one of only a handful of sites across the country that has been repowered.
