The Delabole wind farm is a wind farm located in Delabole, Cornwall, England. It was the first commercial wind farm constructed in the UK.
The farm was first proposed in 1989, and was opened in 1991. For its first two decades, it operated ten wind turbines, built by Vestas, but in February 2011 an £11.8 million rebuilding of the facility was completed, which added four new turbines, which are larger than the original ones. After the rebuilding, the facility has a total potential power output of 9.2 megawatts, an increase from the original four megawatt output.
