Number of wind turbines	Up to 9
Installed capacity of project	Between 13.5 and 22.5 MW
Number of average homes supplied annually equivalent to project generation	Up to 8,000 homes1

Notes

1. The number of homes that could be supplied by this wind farm was based on the following. An average home consumes 4700 kWh per year, which is derived from a total UK domestic electricity consumption of 117.589 terawatt-hours (TWh) and 25.2 million UK households giving 4,666 kWh per year per household. UK energy consumption is as stated for 2004 in The Digest of UK Energy Statistics 2005.

The number of UK households is as stated for 2003 in the Mid-year Household Estimates for England (21.1 m), Northern Ireland (0.65 m), Scotland (2.2 m) and Wales (1.2 m) published in 2004 by the Office for National Statistics.

The energy predicted to be generated by the proposal has been calculated using an assumed capacity factor of 26%, and is based on an installed capacity of 18 MW. The energy capture, capacity factor and equivalent homes figure relating to this project may change as site specific information is gathered.
