This press release is all about numbers. 307 turbines 4.1 GW nameplate capacity 5 million homes will be powered 8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide avoided Up to £8.3 billion to the UK economy 4650 potential jobs in Scotland 9300 potential jobs in the UK These are all large figures. This map from SSE shows the location of the wind farm. The press release says this about connections to the grid. Berwick Bank has secured a grid connection at Branxton, near Torness, in East Lothian. A second grid connection will be required for the project, which has been determined as Blyth, Northumberland. Note, that Torness is the site of Torness nuclear power station. It has a nameplate capacity of 1.29 GW. It is scheduled to be shutdown in 2028. As Berwick Bank wind farm will be fully operational by 2030, it looks like Torness nuclear power station is being replaced by the larger wind farm.           Comment Like You can also reply to this email to leave a comment.
