What Infrastructure is required for Wind Energy?
A wind energy development is likely to include the requirement for other infrastructure such as:
- access roads
- onsite tracks
- a wind monitoring mast
- a substation
- a control building
- crane hard standings
- electric cabling; and
- a construction compound.

Some of this infrastructure is permanent and some is temporary and used for the construction period only. Details of all necessary infrastructure required for a given wind energy development will be included in the planning application.
How Safe is Wind Energy
The wind industry, like all major industries, takes health and safety very seriously. As wind turbines do not use flammable or toxic feedstock, and produce no exhaust gases or hazardous waste, wind is inherently among the safest of all energy technologies. Wind farm design takes this further, siting virtually all onsite cabling out of sight and under ground, while situating turbines well away from roads and power lines. At the end of their life, wind energy developments are easily decommissioned with no dangerous waste. Partnerships for Renewables, itself is committed to safe working and operating practices. The company is implementing its own bespoke Health and Safety policy, which covers its office- and site-based activities and what it expects of its suppliers.
