Blyth Harbour Wind Farm C013 / 9766
Blyth Harbour Windfarm, at the Port of Blyth, Northumberland, UK. Wind power is a renewable and clean source of energy for electricity production. The wind turns the blades, and this drives a turbine to generate electricity. These nine 0.3-megawatt (MW) wind turbines (seven seen here) were erected in 1992. They are WindMaster turbines and are 42.5 metres tall. A proposal in 2008 was made to replace these turbines with seven new ones, one of which would be 163 metres tall. The site capacity would increase from 2.7 megawatts (MW) of power to 22.5 MW

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Blyth Harbour Wind Farm, located at the picturesque Port of Blyth in Northumberland, UK. Serving as a prime example of renewable and clean energy production, wind power is harnessed through these nine impressive 0.3-megawatt (MW) WindMaster turbines. Standing tall at 42.5 meters, they have been diligently generating electricity since their installation in 1992. However, progress never ceases in the realm of sustainable technology. In 2008, an ambitious proposal was put forth to replace these turbines with seven new ones, including a towering giant that would reach an astounding height of 163 meters. If implemented successfully, this upgrade would significantly increase the site's capacity from its current output of 2.7 MW to an impressive 22.5 MW. The image captures the essence of this cutting-edge engineering marvel against the backdrop of England's stunning coastline—a testament to human ingenuity harmonizing with nature's beauty. The motion captured here symbolizes not only the turning blades but also our relentless pursuit towards a greener future. As we venture into the twenty-first century armed with environmentally friendly solutions like wind farms and green power generation, it becomes increasingly evident that sustainability is no longer just a buzzword—it is our responsibility towards safeguarding our planet for generations to come.
