EDF Energies Nouvelles reports the commissioning of the Bicker wind farm in the Fenlands. This new 26 MW wind farm is the sixth project completed by the Group in this region of north-east England.

The Bicker wind farm in Lincolnshire comprises 13 wind turbines, each with 2 MW in unit capacity. They were supplied by German manufacturer REpower. Complementing the Glassmoor, Deeping, Red House, Red Tile and Walkway wind farms already in service, this new project represents the latest phase of the construction programme comprising over 100 MW in the Fenlands that was launched in 2005.

The Bicker wind farm is owned equally by EDF Energies Nouvelles and EDF Energy via EDF Energy Renewables. This joint venture was set up in June 2008 to fulfil their joint ambitions in green electricity generation in the United Kingdom.

Including the Bicker wind farm, EDF Energies Nouvelles and EDF Energy now own a combined total of 147.4 MW in service in the United Kingdom (123.2 MW owned by EDF Energies Nouvelles and 24.2 MW by EDF Energy).
