Just how tall are the turbines?

Written by Adam on January 23rd, 2008

The proposed turbines will be 120 metres (400 feet) tall, which is the maximum currently allowed by law. That makes them about the same height as a 30 storey block of flats and the Express Lift tower in Northampton.

The sweep of the enormous 90 metre blades would be big enough to fly a 747 jumbo jet through!

As the A14 passes within metres of the proposed Kelmarsh windfarm site, they will be a highly visible distraction for drivers, creating a potential accident hazard as the sun glints off those massive 90 metre blades.

Be in no doubt, they will be visible for miles around.
