Wind Farms
Government is seeking to encourage greater use of sustainable and renewable energy resources such as wind farms and for each part of the country to make some contribution to the national output. Wind turbines are rare at present in Test Valley but it is likely that there will be an increased demand in the future. Turbines are often single units, as at Faccombe, but may be developed as small or large groups. Turbines are becoming increasingly higher with larger blades, particularly in lowland areas of the country with lower wind speed.
