The Council is committed to protecting the environment. The Council is planning to build a wind turbine at the Discovery Centre, Great Notley Country Park that will generate clean and green electricity.

As well as reducing carbon emissions the project will generate income for the community to protect and maintain Council services. 

 A 1.5MW wind turbine could avoid 1350 tonnes of carbon dioxide per annum, equivalent to providing the electricity requirements for over 800 homes.
