Back in 2020, Devon Energy Collective looked into developing a number of wind turbines around the worked mining landscape of Lee Moor to the south of Dartmoor National Park. With the help of the local energy group ‘South Dartmoor Community Energy’, the communities living in the nearby three parishes of Sparkwell, Shaugh Prior and Cornwood were engaged with the concept of a wind farm via a series of online events. The findings showed that a community-owned wind farm at the Clayworks could be both technically and financially viable, generating a substantial surplus income that could have a transformative impact on local communities by providing finance and leverage to fund the deep green retrofit of the 2,600 houses in the surrounding parishes. The project is currently on hold due to delays in attaining a grid connection.
