Peel Energy is committed to the development of onshore and offshore wind projects. Our onshore wind portfolio is in excess of 450MW and includes a range of schemes in operation, under construction or in various stages of development.

Peel Energy's projects include England's largest onshore scheme, Scout Moor in Lancashire, 15 miles north of Manchester. This project took seven years from identifying the site, through consenting, to opening in September 2008. The twenty-six 2.5MW turbines generate 65MW, enough to power 40,000 homes.
Other schemes include:
Royal Seaforth Dock wind farm, Liverpool: six turbines, 3.6MW scheme, constructed in 1999.
Port of Liverpool wind farm: four turbines, 10MW scheme, commissioned in February 2009.
Port of Sheerness wind farm, Isle of Sheppey: four turbines, 10MW scheme, Planning application approved March 2009.
In November 2008, Peel Energy signed an agreement to develop wind farms across UK COAL's extensive land portfolio. Fourteen existing projects, already initiated by UK COAL, fall within the agreement. These projects are at varying stages from pre-planning to consent and, if all were successful, would have the potential for 67 wind turbines generating up to 158MW of power.
