Ovenden Moor Wind Farm
Ovenden Moor Wind Farm
According to eon [original link now dead] The wind farm ... in operation since June 1993 ... is owned by Yorkshire Windpower Limited, a 50/50 joint venture between E.ON UK Renewables and Energy Power Resources Limited (EPRL). Situated 440m above sea level, the turbines are set out in two lines forming a 'V' shape, to make best use of the prevailing south westerly wind.

Ovenden Moor Wind Farm generates enough electricity to meet the average domestic needs of over 5000 households, displacing 10396 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually. On top of that, it also saves 91 tonnes of sulphur dioxide and 30 tonnes of oxides of nitrogen emissions annually.
