The Lake Grasmere salt works could host up to seven wind turbines, providing power for their operations. A proposed wind farm on the hills near the site could provide electricity for production, with excess energy generated being sold to the grid.
The wind farm could potentially produce between 5 and 7.5GWh per year when complete, equivalent to around 500-750 homes. Resource consent has been granted by Marlborough District Council for 5-7 wind turbines.
