Wind turbines and sheep C013 / 9765
Wind turbines and sheep. Wind power is a renewable and clean source of energy for electricity production. The wind turns the blades, and this drives a turbine to generate electricity. These wind turbines, on grazing land, are part of the Penryddlan and Llidiartywaun Windfarm, near Llandinam, Powys, Wales. This wind farm has 103 turbines, has a capacity of 15 megawatts (MW) of power, and is operated by CeltPower. It was the largest wind farm in Europe when it opened in 1992. In 2008, proposals were submitted to replace these Mitsubishi turbines with 43 modern turbines

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the harmonious coexistence of wind turbines and sheep in the picturesque countryside of Wales. Standing tall against a backdrop of rolling hills, these majestic wind turbines symbolize the power of renewable energy in our quest for a cleaner future. The Penryddlan and Llidiartywaun Windfarm, where this photograph was taken, is an engineering marvel that harnesses the natural force of wind to generate electricity. With its 103 turbines boasting a capacity of 15 megawatts, it proudly held the title as Europe's largest wind farm upon its inauguration in 1992. In this idyllic setting, sheep graze peacefully amidst these towering structures. The symbiotic relationship between nature and technology is evident here; while the blades spin gracefully with each gust of wind, they provide sustainable energy without harming the environment or disrupting local farming practices. Proposals have been made to replace these Mitsubishi turbines with more modern counterparts, reflecting advancements in green technology over time. This evolution signifies our commitment to continuously improve and maximize efficiency in power generation. As we gaze upon this image capturing both past achievements and future aspirations, we are reminded that progress can be achieved hand-in-hand with environmental preservation. It serves as a testament to humanity's unwavering dedication towards creating a greener world for generations to come.
