Wind power plant in England, United Kingdom. Approximate location 55.2016, -1.5396.
WindEnglandUnited KingdomCO₂ reported
Lynemouth is a 26 MW wind power plant in England, United Kingdom. It is operated by Scottish Power Renewables. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 22,125 homes (estimated). It ranks #351 of 2,751 United Kingdom power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 10,422 t CO₂/yr (EU ETS) are equivalent to about 2,429 cars driven for a year. In context, wind supplies about 29.4% of United Kingdom's electricity; the national grid averages 217 gCO₂/kWh (64.4% low-carbon) (2025).

This wind plant converts the kinetic energy of wind into electricity through turbine rotors. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 55.2°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Monthly mean temperature
Heating degree-days here run 33% above the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.
Climate heat-demand index: 70/100 — this site sits in the top third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.
In colder climates, uninsulated hot equipment (boilers, turbines, valves, steam lines) loses proportionally more heat to ambient air — exactly the loss Inzonex modular insulation is designed to cut.
