Wind farm could have powered town for a year

Renewable energy firm OnPath Energy says its 12 wind farms across Scotland and England produced more than 660,000 MWh of electricity between them during the 12 months to the end of 2024.

By doing so, says OnPath, they displaced the equivalent annual carbon dioxide emissions from the electricity supply network of more than 91,680 petrol cars.

The Sunderland-based 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.
