ABP turns to wind power for ports with turbine plans for Grimsby

Onshore wind turbines are being proposed to power the Humber ports, with initial plans laid out for Grimsby.

Four turbines are being proposed, with a blade tip height of up to 150m - significantly higher than the 94m Dock Tower - the iconic building that welcomes mariners back to land.

Plans put forward as consultation begins feature four 6MW-maximum installations to the west of the port estate, with two north of Alexandra Dock, and two off Moody Lane. All areas are currently used for car import handling, away from the operational quaysides - with one almost on the spot where Tioxide Tower stood until 2015.
