Wind in their sails

The first turbine at Scroby Sands, the offshore wind farm being developed by E.On UK, has started to generate electricity.

The turbine began turning on 19 July and will undergo a 10-day test period.

Once all 30 turbines have completed a test period, seeing them run for 240 hours continuously before E.On officially takes charge, they will be capable of producing enough electricity to supply around 41,000 homes.

The wind farm, located 2.5km from Great Yarmouth, should be complete by the end of August 2004.
