Forest Wind – Project benefits

Forest Wind would produce enough clean energy to power about 500,000 homes.

Every year it will avoid 2.62 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, the same as taking over one million cars off the road.

Forest Wind would create jobs during construction. This is in addition to the flow on jobs that would be created by regional procurement.

Typical goods and services likely to be sourced locally during construction and operations include accommodation, engineering, freight services, construction materials and equipment, local labour, technical contractors, earth works services, fencing and landscaping.

The types of jobs typically created during construction include:

• Domestic scale electricians
• Transport operators
• Competent machine operators
• General labourers
• Quarrying staff
• Concrete suppliers
• Accommodation providers
