A community windcluster on Mynydd Fochriw, Mid- Glamorgan, South Wales

摘要

With the upsurge in popular interest in environmental sustainability, the uncertain future of the UK Non-Fossil-Fuel Obligation, and the deregulation of the UK electricity supply, alternative mechanisms for the development of UK renewable energy are required. This paper realises these as opportunities and outlines a proposed wind-powered project which is unique in it's approach in encouraging local-community involvement and ownership.
