Overview
K L Technologies Wind Turbine is a 1.5 MW onshore wind farm in the United Kingdom, operated by KL Technology Limited. The facility contributes to the UK's renewable energy capacity under the Contracts for Difference scheme.
K L Technologies Wind Turbine is an onshore wind farm located in the United Kingdom, with a capacity of 1.5 MW. Owned and operated by KL Technology Limited, the facility is currently operational and contributes to the country's renewable energy generation. The turbine operates under the UK's regulatory framework, which includes the Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme and the Renewables Obligation (RO). These policies support the deployment of onshore wind, which is a mature technology in the UK. The 1.5 MW capacity places this facility in the small-scale category, typical for single-turbine installations. As part of the UK's transition to net-zero emissions, this wind turbine helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels and supports local grid stability. Onshore wind is a key component of the UK's renewable energy mix, with the government targeting 50 GW of offshore and onshore wind by 2030.
Environmental context
Onshore wind farms in the UK are typically sited in rural or coastal areas with strong wind resources. Environmental considerations include visual impact on landscapes, noise for nearby residents, and potential effects on bird and bat populations. However, modern turbines are designed to minimize these impacts, and projects must undergo environmental assessments before approval.
