The vertical-axis designed of the small leaf turbines with a magnet assembly enabled them to start generating energy at the low wind speed threshold of 4.5 mph without any distracting sound, making them ideal for urban settings.
At a peak power of 65-watt per leaf, each tree represents an installed capacity of 3.5 kW, or the equivalent of a small home solar array:
Work Due to Start on 714 Megawatt East Anglia One
In January 2017 will see ScottishPower Renewables commence pre-construction works for East Anglia ONE, which is the first major step in constructing the offshore windfarm.
Iberdrola Engineering & Construction has been appointed to undertake engineering design and is the Principle Contractor for the pre-construction and construction works.
From January, work will start right the way along the 37km onshore cable route, from Bawdsey to Bramford. These pre-construction works are to prepare the ground and the road networks for the start of construction, planned for Spring 2017.
