Wind energy is the fastest growing source of electricity generation in the world today.

This has visually become apparent by a visit to many of the British coastlines, where you will often see numerous wind turbines out at sea doing their job.

There is approximately 1700 wind turbines in the UK today which have the capacity to produce more than 1900 MW of electricity, this is enough to supply over 1,000,000 homes. Although this may sound a lot it actually corresponds to just over 1% of UK electricity supplies.

Some European countries are currently generating 20% of their electricity from wind farms, however the UK has the greatest wind resource in Europe due to its location, so maybe in future years when wind energy supplies are further developed the majority of the UK electricity could quite possibly be supplied from wind farms.

Jennings Wind Farm Contractors UK have been heavily involved in the construction of wind energy schemes throughout the UK for the past 19 years.
