Welcome to Crida Community Wind

Crida Community Wind aims to establish 2 medium-scale turbines on a windy ridge 3 miles west of Bridgnorth in Shropshire.

* The turbines will be 100% owned by a Co-operative, which anybody can join with a minimum investment of £250. The income from the turbines will return to the members of the co-operative and to an annual community fund of approximately £10,000.

* The site and turbines have been carefully chosen to minimise impact on landscape, wildlife, noise and other concerns.

* We estimate that the turbines will produce around 10% of the electricity used by households in Bridgnorth

* This is a joint project between Sustainable Bridgnorth (a voluntary group committed to reducing CO2 emissions in the Bridgnorth District) and Sharenergy (a not-for-profit co-operative based in Ludlow)

Met mast application approved – and installed

On Tuesday 29th November the local planning committee approved the temporary application for a wind monitoring mast at Criddon Hall Farm.

The met mast installation started on site on 8th December but due to high winds had to be completed the following day.

Noise monitoring work by an independent acoustic consultant will be starting shortly.
