PfR opens its first wind development at Kent prison

The wind energy developer Partnerships for Renewables (PfR), founded by the Carbon Trust in 2007*, last week unveiled its first completed turbine installation at HMP Standford Hill on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent, with a formal opening by local MP, Gordon Henderson.

The two-turbine, 4.6MW development is the result of a collaboration with the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) and the Sheppey Prisons Cluster. The turbines provide the MoJ a rent based on a percentage from sale of the electricity. This saves money for the public purse, creates clean energy on public land and helps the MoJ to improve its sustainability credentials.
