Delabole was the first commercial windfarm built in the UK in 1991. It has has ten 100ft (30 metre high) turbines. The turbines when installed in 1991 were supposed to have a lifespan of 20 years, after which time they would be removed and the land returned to it's original state. However, after just 16 years there are now plans by Good Energy to repower Delabole by replacing the existing 10 turbines by fewer but much larger turbines. It seems that once a power station, always a power station!

Planning consent has been given for four 110 metre wind turbines to replace the existing ten turbines.
