A 13 metre wind turbine was installed in London’s Leicester Square today.
The temporary wind turbine installed by SIAC Wind Power was installed as part of the UK wind week event. The wind turbine and wind week is hoped to promote wind energy in the UK.
Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change Chris Hulne said:
“Wind energy is at the heart of our plans for renewable energy. This week will see thousands of people visiting their local wind farms and events around the country raising awareness of the opportunities there are for energy security, jobs and business from the industry.”
Wind week comprises a series of events across the UK offering up wind farm visits and educational tours to give everyone a chance to learn more about the technology. For a list of venues and events in different locations visit the EmbraceMyPlanet website.
