Crystal Rig Wind Farm first commenced operation in 2003 and consisted of 25 turbines. By 2025 it will consist of 102 turbines and will generate over 260 MW of clean, green, electricity – capable of powering 200,000 homes.
We are moving forward with the construction of Crystal Rig IV. Please see www.crystalrigwindfarm.co.uk for further information.

We were granted consent for an 11-turbine extension to Crystal Rig in 2021.
This involves:
This extension will form a natural expansion of the existing site. This will allow the wind farm, combined, to generate 262.5MW of electricity – the equivalent to powering more than 200,000 homes annually.
We are currently engaging key stakeholders and the local community as we progress towards construction. Please visit www.crystalrigwindfarm.co.uk for the latest updates.
