Completed Turbine Tower No 23 on Scout Moor
June the 7th 2008 was an historic day on Scout Moor as construction of the wind farm came to an end.
At 13:00 the very last blade was attached to Turbine No 23 above.
Had the blade been attached just a few hours earlier in the morning it would have been in thick fog and not possible to photograph.
Construction of the wind turbines began back in November 2007 at Turbine No 16.
By June 2008 engineers had constructed 26 wind turbine towers and installed 78 turbine blades 450 metres above sea level on Scout Moor amid adverse weather conditions of thick fog, gale force winds, torrential rain, snow and ice during the winter months of 2008.
