Goole Fields 1 windfarm officially opens

RWE Innogy UK has invested more than £45 million into the 16 turbine windfarm, which has a capacity of 32.8MW.

The windfarm has been fully operational since August 2014.

Community members were also given more information about the Goole Fields windfarm community fund, which is due to go live this autumn.

The fund will invest in the region of £1.3million over the operational lifetime of the wind farm.

Tim Daldry, RWE Innogy UK project manager for Goole Fields windfarm, said: “Goole Fields windfarm is testimony to everybody involved, and will create a cleaner energy legacy for the area by generating home grown electricity from the wind for thousands of homes.”
