Renewable energy firm RWE Innogy UK has opened £45m Goole Fields 1 Wind Farm in East Riding of Yorkshire.
The Goole Fields 1 Wind Farm employs 16 turbines, each standing at 124.8 metres high and it has an installed capacity of around 32.8MW.
RWE Innogy UK received planning permission by East Riding of Yorkshire Council in September 2010, to build the wind farm on a section of land south of the A161, south east of the town of Goole.
The electricity generated at the wind farm would be enough to cater to the energy demands of around 18,200 average households in the country annually.
RWE Innogy UK Goole Fields Wind Farm project manager Tim Daldry "Goole Fields Wind Farm is testimony to everybody involved, and will create a cleaner energy legacy for the area by generating home grown electricity from the wind for thousands of homes."
Earlier this month, RWE Innogy installed the first turbine at the Königshovener Höhe wind farm in Germany.
