Greater Manchester Windfarm?

Cubico Sustainable Investments (an independent renewable energy developer) has submitted plans to erect 21 onshore wind turbines at Scout Moor. The turbines would be adjacent to a windfarm near Greater Manchester. This site would then be able to generate more than 100 megawatts of electricity. That's sufficient, to power more than 10% of Greater Manchester's domestic energy needs. This installation could also be in operation by 2030 (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/nov/05/biggest-onshore-windfarm-energy-cubico-scout-moor-greater-manchester). So long as the folk living near this onshore windfarm get some benefits, this is a good direction of travel. Cubico have proposed a multi-million pound Community Wealth Fund, as well as a Moorland Restoration and Management Plan. The development would speed up the UK's 'green' transition, without having to transmit the power generated over excessive distances. Building it would also much faster, cheaper and safer than constructing a nuclear powerstation. Sections of the moorland would also still be available for wildlife and human recreation.
