Recycled Wind Turbines to Generate Power

Editorial Checklist Reviewed
Dec 17 2010

Cornwall Light and Power has substituted the 20 year old 14 wind turbines of 25 m height with six 107 m high wind turbines at Goonhilly Downs wind farm on the Lizard.

The old wind turbines have been functioning from 1993 onwards and the newer more efficient machines would treble the annual output and at the same time reduce the carbon emissions too.

The older outdated models would be transported to Falmouth in the month of January and would be shipped to Lithuania for refurbishing. It would then be sent to Latvia for power generation in Eastern Europe. Cornwall Light, a Truro-based company in UK, which owns, builds and operates renewable energy units in the UK, sought to recycle these old wind turbines as they were still in working condition.
