30 members of the Society had a fascinating visit to the Den Brook Wind Turbines near Bow on 27 September.
Nine turbines, 120m in height to the tip of their three blades, are spaced over an extensive area of farmland with grazing sheep and cattle.
18MW of electricity are fed into the National Grid through a substation (the only building on site). The site is managed from Glasgow and Exminster!
Buzzards wheeled among the turbines which emitted a low hum and whooshing sound. The course of a Roman road crosses the site as does the railway line between Okehampton and Exeter.
There will be a full report in the February Newsletter.
