Brayton Mill, Cumbria

JPA Agriculture based in Brayton Mill produce animal feed and employ approx 10 full and part time staff. The site is currently “off grid” using diesel generators to produce their entire electrical requirement which matches closely the expected output from one of our mid-sized wind turbines (40m mast, 39m dia rotor). Note that the best diesel electricity generators emit around 1kg of CO2 for every 1 kwh of electricity – which is double the average of around 0.5kg/kwh for the National Grid (PDF).

Brayton Park has been operational since 2015 and has now generated over 7 million kWh to date. The site comprises a 500kW Vestas V39 turbine, well suited to lower wind speed conditions and with a proven track record of reliable performance. It continues to deliver clean electricity and support local renewable energy generation.

• 500kW turbine with excellent low windspeed performance
• Exceptional reliability and well proven track record
• Ideally suited to community-scale wind projects
• 60m blade tip height
