Wind turbines for Aberystwyth University
These circles mark the sites where Aberystwyth University is planning to erect wind turbines - one just beyond Fferm Penglais, the new student village, and two at Gogerddan. The three 30 metre, 250Kw turbines could apparently provide 10% of the Uni's electricity needs.
As the consultation information says,
"The project, which would cost about £2.5 million, would also help protect the University from future increases in energy costs, help to ensure security of supply, assist in meeting targets to reduce carbon emissions and provide a reaching resource for students to access as part of their studies".
