Land at East Karslake, St Austell, Cornwall

Installation Type: Wind Turbine

Installation Size: 4.1 MW

CleanEarth are proposing a single wind turbine up to 135m in height, with associated infrastructure and access track, located within the China Clay area in St Austell, Cornwall.

The proposed East Karslake turbine is located within an industrial area that has been influenced by mining activities. The development site is positioned to the north of the road linking the Blackpool and Greensplat quarries.

The proposed East Karslake turbine will generate approximate 12 GWh of renewable energy annually – the equivalent of powering approximately 3,000 southwest homes. The proposal will allow a significant contribution towards Cornwall’s carbon reduction targets, in the pursuit of the carbon neutrality goal by 2030.

The proposed site falls within the northernmost fringes of the St. Mewan Parish. The project will direct an annual contribution fund to aid local projects and causes in the community.

A public consultation was held on the 25th of November 2021. This application has now been submitted to the local authority. The application and its supporting documents can be viewed on the planning portal once it has been validated by the local authority.
