|
14 wind turbines each 125 metres high to the tip of the rotors. The turbines are over 10 metres ( 30 feet ) higher than Eggborough cooling towers The main mast is 80 metres high to the centre of the rotor. The blades are 45 metres long. Turbines in two rows stretching for 2.5 km across the fields between Birkin and West Haddlesey. Woodlane wind farm would dominate the view from miles around. The power stations are visible from miles away, the wind farm is higher and stretches much further. The test mast, in place since last August, is only 80 metres high. If you have seen wind turbines while traveling they may have been the much smaller 60 metre versions, these are over twice as high. Local poplar trees which can be seen for many miles are only 25 to 30 metres high, turbines are 4 to 5 times higher. Electricity pylons are less than half the height of the turbines. Moving object attracts the eye and so the turbines will actually seem even bigger.
