What is the life span of the wind farm?
The turbines and other plant have a warranted life-span of about 20 years, as on land. However, the lease awarded for an offshore site will last for 50 years, therefore npower renewables would anticipate replacing the first set of turbines with new ones during the wind farm’s life time. At the end of the lease period, npower renewables will decommission the offshore wind farm or re apply for planning permission to replace the project.
