| Middlewick Wind Farm The proposed wind farm would be located in Essex, approximately 3 km east of Southminster. The cluster would consist of up to 16 wind turbines, with a capacity of approximately 2 MW each. The energy generated from wind farm would provide renewable electricity to power the domestic needs of approximately 17,800 homes, and would prevent the emission of 31,100 tonnes of harmful carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year. This reduction in emissions would essentially be equivalent to removing 7,000 cars from the road. A proportion of the revenue from the wind cluster will 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. Ridgewind’s partner in the project is international investment and advisory firm Babcock and Brown Limited, 1 Fleet Place, London EC4M 7NR.
