Magor wind turbine – video
This two minute video shows some of the work that went into installing the Magor Brewery wind turbine, which is now providing low-cost, low-carbon electricity directly into Budweiser Brewing Group in South Wales.
CleanEarth wind turbine now powering Budweiser Brewing Group
Our latest turbine installation went live in South Wales today, and is now providing renewable energy directly to Budweiser Brewing Group’s brewery in Magor. This is our largest wind project to date, equipped with turbine blades that – at 68 metres – we believe are the longest ever to enter commercial operation on UK soil.…
CleanEarth takes delivery of UK’s longest onshore wind turbine blades (video)
This week saw the arrival of the longest turbine blades to go into commercial operation on UK soil. At 68 metres long the swept area of these blades will be the equivalent of two Wembley football pitches, and the total height of the finished turbine will be fully 150m (just under 500 feet). Long…
Finishing what others started: two turbines acquired and energised in Scotland
When the Burnbrae and Afton Lea turbines were erected in 2016, it should have meant another two megawatts being added to the UK’s renewable generating capacity. Four years on, they’d barely done enough to boil a kettle. But CleanEarth recently acquired them, and last week we got them spinning and finally sending power to the…

New CleanEarth turbines in Wales and Scotland
We have three very different wind projects in development, in south Wales and in opposite corners of Scotland. Two are brand new turbines while the third is bringing into commission two turbines that were erected in 2016 but never connected to the grid by the original developer. In total, they will add 8 MW of…
Video: CleanEarth wind turbine installation for Accolade Wines
We made this film of the wind turbine’s final assembly at Accolade Wines’ HQ in Avonmouth over the weekend of 11/12 May. Great credit goes to all of our partners in this venture. After nearly three years of planning and preparation, the last couple of days went without a hitch.
‘A first of its kind’ for UK business: CleanEarth wind turbine for Accolade Wines
At CleanEarth we are always delighted when a major wind turbine project comes to fruition, but this one has particular significance because it sets an important precedent for UK businesses. Our 2.5 MW wind turbine at Accolade Wines’ Avonmouth distribution centre is the first to be constructed for a business that does not own the…
CleanEarth celebrates completion of “easy” wind turbine project
We usually like to report on how we’ve had to dig really deep to overcome the massive challenges of getting a new wind turbine or solar PV system up and running. But our most recently completed project turned out to be about as straightforward as they come. The 900 kWp turbine went up in Kilmux,…
