Delabole is just the first in a pipeline of new Good Energy wind farm developments. We’re planning to add over 50MW of new capacity in the next five years - that’s enough wind energy to power all the homes in a city about the size of Cambridge.

We’ve made good progress with several possible sites in different places around the country. We’re working closely with the landowners and hope to be able to share the locations of some of our prospective new wind farms very soon.

Most of these will be small to medium-sized developments and, as with all our sites, Good Energy will develop them in close consultation with the local community, as well as putting environmental considerations at the fore.

Delabole wind farm is a great example of how effective consultation helps the planning process run smoothly, ensuring that local communities are involved with the plans and are able to benefit from the development. We intend to apply everything we learnt from our positive experience redeveloping Delabole to our new wind farms.

These new wind farm developments are fantastic news for the future of Good Energy and our customers. Increasing the amount of homegrown energy we generate is better for the UK’s energy security, reducing future energy price risks and taking us a step closer to our goal of turning the UK’s energy 100% renewable by 2050.
