Wind farm plan for nuclear plant
npower Renewables is investigating the possibility of an onshore wind farm near Bradwell-on-Sea in Essex. The plan is for up to 26 wind turbines to be installed to provide enough electricity to power approximately 29,000 homes.
Vicky Portwain, development manager for npower, said: "This would offset the emission every year of around 117,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide that would otherwise have been released by power stations burning fossil fuels like coal, oil or gas."
A full consultation process will be undertaken with local representatives and residents, along with local and national groups.
