What is Shadow Flicker? The intermittent shadow cast over the window of a property caused by rotating wind turbine blades obstructing the Sun’s rays is described by the term ‘shadow [...]

When a turbine spins, it disrupts the flow of wind and creates swirling trails of disturbed air called wakes [1]. This means that it leaves slower but more turbulent air [...]

As 2030 looms nearer, international targets for the end of the decade are ramping up. The UK’s Clean Power 2030 Action Plan includes 43-50 GW of offshore wind [1]. Development [...]

The UK government has announced a shift in how large onshore wind farm projects will be approved by bringing these projects back into the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) regime [...]

The placement of wind turbines within a wind farm is crucial for maximising energy output while reducing wake effects (a reduction in wind speed due to energy being extracted by [...]

With the positivity surrounding the UK onshore wind sector, it is a good time to refresh the memory of the safeguarding constraints that exist around aviation and wind development. One [...]

Onshore wind turbines are on the rise, including in the UK in the wake of Labour’s removal of the de facto ban on onshore wind in England [1]. Usually located [...]

Radar signals and wind turbines are, in a sense, natural enemies. Civil radar installations are generally located such that their coverage above the surrounding terrain is as unobstructed as possible. [...]
