Work started on airport wind turbines
17.04.11
Work has started on the installation of two 45m (148ft) wind turbines at East Midlands Airport. The turbines, which are the first of this size at a UK airport, are being lifted into place next to the airport's headquarters.
The airport is building the turbines as part of its a bid to make its ground operations carbon neutral by 2012. They will generate 5% of the site's electricity when they are completed, saving approximately 300 tonnes of carbon emissions each year.
