The Future for Sustainable Energy Repowering Tangy Wind Farm

Perspective - Need to dramatically cut carbon emissions - Take account of impacts so far - Consider public support - Take account of need to reduce costs and maximise

energy yield - Act proportionately

Tangy I and II

Tangy I and II Planning Permission Expires,

Windfarm Decommissioned

Tangy I and II Operational Wind Farm 22 x 0.85MW Turbines

(18.7 MW capacity)

Tangy III

Tangy III to be constructed. 15 x turbines

Tangy III Grid Connection and

Energisation Date

Tangy III Operational Wind Farm (15 WTG’s with capacity to deliver

up to c.36MW of Renewable Energy Generation for a further 25 years)

Tangy III Planning Permission

Granted (15 no WTG’s)

Crown copyright and database rights 2016 Ordnance Survey 10034870

Tangy III 3,565 of recycled track 7,459m of new tracks

Tangy I + II 5,700m of existing tracks

Tangy I, II and III Wind Farm Layout

Tracks, Bases, cables - Repowering needs new turbine bases - Working with suppliers and with CSIS, SNH, SEPA etc

looking at long term opportunities to re-use bases - Important to recognise this is not as simple as is

imagined - Cables need to support new turbines - Tracks can be re-used but need modification to new

layout and technology

0 Turbines 0 tonnes reduction in CO2 emissions 0 GWh Energy generated annually
