Wind Turbines & Low Flying Aircraft Guidance
UK Wind developers of turbines over 300ft (91.44m) are advised to contact the Defence Geographic Centre (DGC) at least six weeks before the first turbine is installed/ removed so that data used in low flight planning can be as accurate as possible. In addition confirmation should be given that the…
Scottish Power Offers Kincardine as a Mitigation Option
The 117MW Harelaw development proposed by Gamesa, Muirhall Energy’s 500KW single turbine, two West Coast Energy projects and the RWE Npower Renewabes 15MW Middleton scheme have paid to secure access to the Kincardine Radar data. This list is hoping to be extended as Scottish Power Renewables say they talking with more wind…
UK Government retains shareholding in NATS

Green Light for Two UK Offshore Developments
The Dudgeon and Race Bank projects being giving the go-ahead will add over 1GW to the offshore wind capacity of the UK. This is a step in the right direction to achieve the UK Government’s Roadmap goal of up to 18GW of offshore wind capacity ready by 2020. Both developments…
Wind Tubines: The bigger, the greener.
“Wind Power Electricity: The Bigger the Turbine, The Greener the Electricity?” is the title of a study conducted by Marloes Caduff and colleagues, published in the journal of the American Chemical Society. The findings indicated that larger turbines result in the production of “greener” electricity due mainly to two things:…
Fossil Fuel Subsidy Twitterstorm
Monday the 18th June saw the the launch of a 24 hour “Twitterstorm” against government subsidies paid annualy to the coal and petroleum industry. The campaign was timed to perfection, started just before the Rio+20 conference to raise maximum awareness.

Global Wind Day Photographs
The appearance of wind turbines is a controversial. Some people love them, some people don’t. Regardless of what your view is, the photos from the “Wind in Mind” photography competition depict the wind turbines in new lights. Launched back in May, the “Wind in Mind” competition encouraged individuals to submit…
Don’t let inaccuracy “terrain” on your parade – White Paper
Mike Watson has recently composed a white paper titled “Creating and Using Terrain Based Assessments.” Terrain Based Assessments (TBAs) are really useful for the development of transport, property or renewable energy. Specifically for wind turbine development they underpin studies such as radar detectability and line of sight analysis. It is possible to think…
