One of which was the installation, by Eagle Power, of a 6KW Proven Wind Turbine on a free standing 15M mast. This was made possible with help from the DTI's Low Carbon Buildings Program, Langeled's 'Rural Communities Development Fund, Leader+, Yorkshire Forward,Humber & Wolds Rural Community Council and with vital help & guidance from Karen Wood the Rural Community's Officer from The East Riding of Yorkshire Council
The Turbine was installed on 20 February 2007 and powers Skeffling Village Hall, any excess is sold to the National Grid and the proceeds are used to help maintain & eventually replace the Turbine. The decision to use renewable energy was made with 'Agenda 21' of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit in mind, which has Sustainable Development at its heart.
