Braintree District Council is committed to protecting the environment and to the lead the way in tackling the effects of climate change. That’s why we are keen to produce our own green electricity to offset carbon emissions. With energy prices set to escalate over the coming years – this will be a sound green investment that will bring ever increasing financial returns that we can invest back into local services.

The wind turbine development will demonstrate:
 - productive use of council owned land.
 -  a flagship development by the council. 
 - setting a green example.
 -  a meaningful contribution to national targets for installed capacity.
 -  active promotion of a sustainable energy future for Braintree district.
