Burton Wold Wind Farm is opened
On 29 March 2006 the Burton Wold Wind Farm near Kettering began operation.
The picture below shows the development, viewed from 16 kilometres (10 miles) away (at Bozeat Grange, on the Northamptonshire/Milton Keynes county boundary and close to the proposed Nun Wood development). The turbines are clearly visible, even at great distance, and these are each 100 metres (325 feet) tall (25% shorter that those proposed for Nun Wood and Petsoe Manor Farm).

The next picture shows the turbines towering above the Northamptonshire town of Wellingborough - itself some distance away from the site.
