Wind turbines to be installed across Sussex

By Lawrence Marzouk

Hundreds of wind turbines are to be installed across Sussex, The Argus can reveal.

A study has been launched to identify sites for wind farms in the county, looking into wind speeds and the viability of each location.

The £10,000 investigation, sponsored by the South East England Development Agency (Seeda), will pinpoint spots across the county where wind turbines could be located.

The county has pledged to put up almost 750 turbines by 2016, including 22 at 70 metres high, 20 at 30 metres, 300 at 20 metres installed at schools and colleges and 400 small turbines on homes.

It is estimated that this will generate 32 megawatts (MW) of electricity each year - enough to power 15,500 homes.

In Brighton and Hove, large wind turbine facilities are likely to be placed at the edge of the city.

Large industrial sites such as Shoreham Harbour have also been earmarked as potential locations for large wind turbine facilities.

Plans to build up to five turbines at the harbour are already being looked at.
