Port of Sheerness Wind Farm
|
The Port of Sheerness wind farm near Rochester, Kent, is a consented development to be situated along the Lappel Bank dock wall.
The proposed scheme will consist of four 2.5–3-MW turbines, each with a total maximum height of 125m. The wind farm is expected to produce enough power for 5500 homes, which equates to 13% of the wind energy target for the Kent region.
An environmental impact assessment was commissioned in April 2008. Following wide public consultation, independent reports on sustainability and a site visit by local councillors, planning permission was granted in March 2009.
