The Dagenham wind farm are two 85 m high Enercon E-70 wind turbines located on the Dagenham estate of the Ford Motor Company in east London, England The turbines were completed in April 2004. They are landmarks of the skyline and the first 'wind farm' to be built in London.
One turbine is located in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, (Turbine 1) the other in the Hornchurch Marshes area of the London Borough of Havering (Turbine 2). Planning consent was received from both boroughs. The Mayor of London gave approval for the project in August 2003.
The turbines were constructed by the Ecotricity green energy company. Planning consent was also given for a third 65 m high turbine (Turbine 3) in Havering, with a viewing platform which, as of 2007, has not been constructed. As of mid-2008, the planned operating date for the third wind turbine was by the first quarter of 2009.Dagenham Wind Farm | |
