20120305_IMG_2247.jpg 3 wind turbines being constructed behind the kirkstone Pass Inn on kirkstone Pass in the Lake District, UK. Because of its remote location, the pub is not connected to the grid and currently spends £25,000 a year on a diesel generator. The wind turbines will vastly reduce the need for the generator and are the first wind turbines to get planning permission in the National Park.

IMG_0622_shades.jpg The Krakken, a jack up barge, that is constructing the wind turbines of the Walney offshore wind farm, uses a specialist cradle to lift a turbine blade into place. The farm consists of 102, 3.6 MW turbines, giving a total capacity of the Walney project of 367.2 MW, enough to power 320,000 homes. The rotor diameter of the turbines is 107m for Walney 1 and 120 m for Walney 2. The wind farm is owned and constructed by Dong Energy. Cumbria, UK.

IMG_3163_lifting.jpg Construction work on fitting two archimedes screws on a new hydro electric project on the River Leven, at Low Wood near Haverthwaite, Cumbria, UK. When operational they will generate over 400 Kw of green electricity. When operational they will be the largest archimedes screws in the UK. The project uses the old mill race that used to power the gunpowder factory. Heat generated by the turbines, that is usually lost to the atmosphere is going to be pumped directly into a nearby office building. At times when the hydro is not working the offices will be heated by 4 air source heat pumps.
