All figures given are the result of standard BWEA calculations. Specific project information may vary.

*Annual homes equivalent
Over the course of a year, the wind farm would be expected to provide enough electricity to serve this many households. This calculation is based on a capacity factor of 30% and an average household consumption of 4,700 kWh/year.

The accuracy of this number will vary according to the actual capacity factor of the wind farm and the electricity usage in the locality. For example, if most of the houses have gas fired central heating, then the homes equivalent will be higher. Equally, electric heating would result in a lower homes equivalent.

At very good sites the capacity factor can be over 40%. At other sites the capacity factor may be under 30%.

Methodology for these and other benefits can be found at calculations for wind energy statistics.
