OnPath Energy's onshore wind farms meet annual electricity needs of more than 192,000 homes in 2024

The growing portfolio of onshore wind farms owned and operated by Sunderland-headquartered renewable energy firm OnPath Energy generated enough electricity last year to meet the average annual electricity needs of more than 192,000 homes - or a city almost twice the size of Newcastle.

The 12 OnPath wind farms located across Scotland and England generated over 660,000 MWh of electricity between them during the 12 months to the end of 2024 - and by doing so, they displaced the equivalent annual carbon dioxide emissions from the electricity supply network of over 91,680 petrol cars.

The company's two onshore wind farms in its native North East - the Moor House Wind Farm near Darlington and the Lambs Hill Wind Farm to the north west of Stockton - generated over 56,000 MWh of electricity between them during 2024.

The six-turbine Moor House Wind Farm led the way by generating more than 33,000 MWh, with the four-turbine Lambs Hill site producing just under 23,000 MWh.

As part of the company's OnPath Together development approach, the two wind farms also delivered combined revenues of more than £51,000 during 2024 to their respective community benefits funds, which provide financial support for projects being undertaken by groups and good causes in their surrounding communities.
