Windfarm fails to hit target again
Great Yarmouth Scroby Sands windfarm has failed to hit its power generation target for the second year running - and a below-par performance is already being predicted for this year.
But Jon Beresford, manager of the 30-turbine windfarm off the Yarmouth coastline, last night declared himself still confident about the future for Scroby Sands, built to power 41,000 homes, and for wind power in general.
After achieving 90pc of its generation target in its first year, the windfarm has failed to match that in its second year figures, which have been submitted to the Department of Trade and Industry (Dti).
Mr Beresford said they had been “unlucky” to suffer a series of teething problems, including generator and gearbox failures, which were unusual for the windfarm industry.
