Welcome to Furness Wind Farm

With growing concerns over energy security and climate change, Britain is turning to low-carbon energy sources such as wind power. Cumbria is right at the forefront of this, hosting the UK's first co-operatively owned wind power project near Ulverston, known as Harlock Hill Wind Farm.

After 15 years of successful operation, Harlock Hill is ready to be repowered. Infinergy is proud to be working alongside the Barrow-in-Furness based Baywind Energy Co-operative to help achieve this goal. A naming competition for the upgraded wind farm resulted in Furness Wind Farm, after the local area.

5 for 5

The plan is to upgrade the exisitng 5 wind turbines at Harlock Hill to 5 modern machines with a higher power output. It is estimated that the site's electricity production would be quadrupled.
