Alveston, South Gloucestershire

A first for the county

This will be South Gloucestershire's first wind park! Three elegant turbines will be built here almost twelve years after neighbouring Gloucestershire's first.

It's a great site - near the junction of the M4 and M5 motorways and could be up and running within 12 months.

This is a vital step towards energy independence - securing our future energy needs, from our own local source - the wind.

Once up and running Alveston Wind Park will provide enough clean power each year for over 5,000 thousand local homes - that¹s 5% of the homes in the district from just three turbines.

Hot off the press - we've just been granted permission for our Alveston Wind Park.

We're chuffed to bits. This is a great site for wind turbines. We'd like to thank those councilors that made this possible and all the local people who expressed their support.
