Cold Northcott

It consists of 22 twin-bladed turbines (similar to Great Eppleton) with a nameplate electrical capacity of 6.6 megawatts and estimated annual output of 16 GWh.

[2] The turbines began operation in April 1993 (31 years ago) (1993-04) and are manufactured by Cumbrian Wind Farms.

In early 2016 the 22, twin-bladed, wind turbines were out of use due to health and safety regulations.

This then caused the blades to blow off during a storm, which resulted in the whole wind farm closing for nearly six months due to health and safety regulations.

During the six months, the crew of engineers carried out maintenance on the operational turbines.
