We envisage a cluster of 12 turbines, with a total capacity of 24MW. The energy generated from Hall Wind Farm would have the potential to provide renewable electricity to over 13,000 homes, whilst eliminating roughly 23,300 tonnes per year of harmful carbon dioxide currently produced by conventional power stations. This reduction in emissions would essentially be equivalent to removing over 5,200 cars from the road.

A proportion of the revenue from the wind cluster would be offered to establish a Trust Fund for local community service programmes and initiatives. The amount offered will be based on the yearly energy output achieved during the lifetime of the development - estimated to be around 25 years. How the Trust Fund is used will be for the local community to decide.

The planning application for the Hall Wind Farm was submitted in October 2006 to the East Riding planning committee. It is expected that a decision on the application will be reached in 2007.

To support the planning application to develop Hall Wind Farm, RidgeWind submitted an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report which included studies undertaken to assess the potential impact of the project on the surrounding landscape, its archaeology and its ecology, both during construction and operation.

RidgeWind is partnered in the project with the landowner.
