To start with, 3 MW wind turbines are rather small for offshore applications. Current practice is to move to larger turbines for offshore applications. I would suggest that returns on investment are likely to be better using 5 MW to 7 MW wind turbines.(5 MW machines are ready now, 7 MW machines are likely to be available before any proposed wind farm can be installed. Secondly, I would suggest that 10 turbines is a relatively small capacity, and that possibly a joint project with France designed to make full use of the existing connection to the French grid by exporting power might be a better bet. 20 to 25 x 5 MW turbines could on average fully meet or exceed the electricity needs of Guernsey, and may well be attractive to both French and Channel Island investors.
