Renewable Energy

The UK Government and European Energy Policy is clearly directed toward increasing the proportion of renewable energy within a sustainable framework of energy mix. Harworth Power has access to a considerable portfolio of sites suitable to the development of renewable energy installations.

Wind projects are commercially attractive, with much synergy to the business. Owning suitable sites is the main catalyst for investigation of projects, but when other aspects of wind schemes are considered such as planning expertise, competences in generation, electrical, civil and mechanical engineering, the commercial benefits increase, and the commercial / engineering risk reduces. There also exists opportunities to support the regeneration and redevelopment of former colliery sites through the provision of clean, green energy.

Harworth Power are currently seeking planning permission for the installation of 110 MW of wind power distributed over 11 sites.

Harworth Power is committed to the future, investing and innovating to harness the resources of the Group to maximum effect.

The Sustainable Development Commission has also produced an excellent document regarding wind energy which can be found at http://www.sd-commission.org.uk/publications.php?id=234. A pocket sized version of this report is also available and can be requested from Harworth Power by e-mailing enquire@harworthpower.com
