The Delabole wind farm is a wind farm located in Delabole, Cornwall, England. It was the first commercial wind farm constructed in the UK.[1]
The farm was first proposed in 1989, and was opened in 1991.[1][2] For its first two decades, it operated ten wind turbines, built by Vestas.[2] In February 2011, an £11.8 million rebuilding of the facility was completed, which replaced the original ten with four new turbines, which are larger than the original ones.[1][3] After the rebuilding, the facility has a potential power output of 9.2 megawatts,[1][4] an increase from the original four megawatt output.[2]
