  • Number of Turbines: up to 4 wind turbines
  • Wind Turbine Tip Height: up to 200 metres
  • Number of ha. Solar PVs: up to 16 ha.
  • Installed Capacity: approximately 49.8 MW (wind 24.8 MW/solar 15 MW)
  • Expected Production: approximately 48,000 UK homes per year whilst saving approximately 66,000 tonnes of CO2 per annum*. 
  • Lifespan of Wind Park: up to 40 years.

    *    Based on the latest RenewableUK methodology, utilising the most recent statistics from the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) (https://www.renewableuk.com/page/UKWEDExplained)​

Upcoming Public Exhibitions 

 

At the start of Summer, we carried out a first round of public consultation on our plans for the West Scales Energy Park. Thank you to everyone who responded to this consultation and attended our drop-in events. We have been carefully reviewing the feedback received from residents and stakeholders, and we have been using this feedback to inform changes that we have made to the scheme design.

We have now launched a second round of consultation to explain the changes we have made and to get your feedback. As part of this process, we’re hosting two further public drop-in exhibitions, giving residents, landowners, and stakeholders the chance to talk directly with the project team, view the latest plans, and share feedback directly.

Previous Public Exhibitions


Eurowind Energy Limited invited you to have your say at the following drop in sessions on the draft proposals for West Scales Energy Park. Thank you for all your feedback. There will be a second round of public exhibitions in Autumn 2025.

Kevin Lawlor, Development Manager (UK), Eurowind Energy Ltd, said:

“Eurowind are pleased to launch the first phase of public consultation for the proposed West Scales Energy Park. This is a significant project that brings together wind, solar, and battery technologies to deliver clean, reliable energy – enough to meet the needs of around 57,000 homes while offsetting more than 81,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year.

We’re committed to working closely with local communities from the very beginning, and we hope residents will take this opportunity to come along to our drop-in events, learn more about the proposals, and share their views. The feedback we receive will play an important role in shaping the development as it moves forward – including how the community benefit fund, estimated at £5,000 per installed megawatt of wind per year, intended to support local priorities.”

“We hope that all interested parties take this opportunity to share their feedback on these proposals and shape the project's future.”

The exhibition materials are available to view in the projects document section of the site.

Benefits

A Community Benefit Fund is a voluntary financial contribution made by the developer to support local communities near renewable energy projects. It is a way of ensuring that the communities that host renewable energy infrastructure share in the benefits of the project. £5,000 per installed megawatt of wind, index linked, for the operational lifetime of the development. There will also be opportunities for local business within the supply chain.
