Eastidlands Airport has announced a few weeks ago plans to have four giant wind turbines built by the end of this year, which will be used to generate electricity for the airport. The turbines will generate 900 kilowatt hours of electricity – without any emissions to pollute the environment – which is enough to cover about 10% of the airport’s energy needs. This project is part of a wider plan to make the airport’s ground operations carbon neutral.
