Green tender up for grabs

Bristol City Council is considering whether to use leasing
as a means of financing six wind turbines on the coast at
Avonmouth. The authority estimates the turbines, which will cost
around £2.5m to build and will have a lifespan of about 25 years,
will start providing economic benefits within 10 years. Four of the
turbines are planned to provide power for Wessex Water’s treatment
works and two are being built on behalf of Bristol City Council.
There are already three turbines in existence in Avonmouth.
