Origin have submitted a planning application to build a 2 x 2.5 MW community wind project in Norton, South Yorkshire. The project would deliver around 13 GWh of energy each year to the grid. Norton Energy Community will administer the profits an behalf of the community to invest in the environment and local sustainable businesses. Energy will be sold directly to the community and the project is eligible for FITs.
