Fullabrook Wind Farm

Fullabrook Wind Farm consists of 22 turbines of up to 3 megawatts capacity, giving a total installed capacity of 66 megawatts.

Each turbine is 65 metres high to the hub with 45 metre blades, making the total height of the turbines 110 metres to the tip of the blade.

Also on site is a permanent 65-metre anemometer mast to monitor wind speeds and an electricity substation on the southern edge of the wind farm site.

From the electricity sub-station, underground cabling connects the wind farm to the national grid at the Rock Park electricity sub-station south of the bridge over the River Taw at Barnstaple.

You can view a detailed plan showing the extent of the site, the location of the turbines and the on-site electricity sub station by clicking on the map. (Please be aware that you may need to download the 'high-res pdf' of the site plan to be see the numbers of the turbines.)

Construction of the wind farm took place in 2011 and the windfarm has been producing green electricity for export to the grid since autumn 2011.

Servicing will be regularly carried out by Vestas, the manufactureres of the turbines, and a central maintenance team will carry out any repairs when needed.

Photos have been taken to show how the wind farm has been built.
