This two-turbine project in Suffolk generates green electricity for the equivalent of approximately 3,500 UK homes – almost exactly the number of houses in nearby Kessingland.
Thrive Renewables invested in building Kessingland Wind Farm in 2010 and operated it until February 2019. The two-turbine project in Suffolk generates green electricity for the equivalent of approximately 3,500 average UK homes. The site, just a few miles away from our Ness Point project, has now been sold and continues to generate renewable electricity thanks to strong winds off the North Sea.
