On July 11th 2017, High Winds Community Energy Society, together with Baywind Energy and Energy Prospects, and with the support of the ethical investment company Thrive Renewables, acquired the Mean Moor wind farm in Cumbria.
The wind farm comprises three 2.3MW Enercon turbines, located across the valley from the two existing High Winds turbines at Harlock Hill in south Cumbria.
Through co-operation, High Winds along with support from the Energy4All family of Co-ops has been able to acquire an existing wind farm from a commercial operator.
Funding contributions are expected to commence in 2020.
