17-turbine possibility
A windfarm with 17 turbines could be built at Nocton Fen. State-owned Swedish firm Vattenfall says it is "investigating the potential" for the development about seven miles south of Lincoln. The company, which operates a number of wind farms across Britain, is seeking the views of the public on the idea.
An initial feasibility study has shown the site could have the "generating capacity" of more than 50MW - which would require 17 industrial-scale turbines. A newsletter will be sent to local residents in the next few weeks confirming the dates and venues of the events.
Graham Davey, Vattenfall's project manager, said: "Vattenfall is at the very earliest stages of assessing the potential of a wind farm at Nocton Fen. "This phase is all about identifying issues and opportunities - that is why we will start by engaging with the community, local representatives, other key interests and national environmental organisations.
"Vattenfall has a strong track record in developing wind farms in the UK that are well designed and that prioritise investment in local communities, jobs and businesses. "We are starting discussions at a very early stage, so that we understand key local issues."
