 Comment

At Lowca the turbines are sited along the 50m high cliff tops above the Irish Sea, ensuring maximum exposure to coastal winds.
The wind farm took six months to construct and began generating electricity in March 2000. The wind farm can generate enough energy to supply 2500 homes, whilst saving 5220 tonnes of carbon dioxide.
