The proposal for a wind turbine in Stewartby has resurfaced with a public exhibition for just four hours next Wednesday. Please see the details below
FCC Environment is developing renewable energy proposals for a small scale facility using Anaerobic Digestion and a single Feed-in Tariff wind turbine at Stewartby Landfill.
A public exhibition is being held on Wednesday 26 September between 2pm and 8pm at Stewartby Village Hall to share the proposals with the local community, answer questions and listen to feedback.
Renewable Energy Facility Using Anaerobic Digestion (AD)
Stewartby is a closed landfill site that has now ceased accepting waste. Restoration of the site is ongoing and over time, the intention is to see the site restored to agricultural use with rights of way allowing informal access to the public. The proposed AD facility would provide clean, green heat and power for FCC Environment’s Stewartby based operations, as well as a self-sufficient supply of organic fertiliser that would be used for the ongoing restoration of areas of the landfill. It would be able to generate the equivalent of up to 0.5 MWe of renewable electricity powered exclusively by energy crops, such as maize, that will be cultivated on both restored areas of the landfill and nearby farmland. The AD facility would not receive any waste.
Single Feed-in Tariff (FIT) Wind Turbine
The FIT scheme was launched by the Government in 2010 to increase the uptake of small and medium scale, renewable energy generation, in order to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, and in line with the UK’s obligation under European law to cut carbon emissions by 2050. FCC Environment has undertaken a review of over 260 of its closed and operational site across the UK, to establish feasible locations for the possible development of wind energy projects. A feasibility study of our Stewartby site has been undertaken which included rigorous technical and environmental assessments to demonstrate its appropriateness for the development of a single wind turbine. It would have a maximum height of 87m to the tip of the blades, and, each year, would produce enough low carbon electricity to power the equivalent of 300 homes.
