What is happening to our oldest wind and solar farms in Great Britain?

Use an end-of-life application to reconsider what the local community wants, potentially including different forms of community benefit.

I'd love to hear more about this point, Rebecca. What are the types of options you would suggest for end-of-life to a room of community stakeholders who were interested in this question? 

Rebecca, welcome to the community and thanks for sharing.  I look forward to seeing you in the community on a regular basis!

Rebecca , a very important study. I'd like to know the average life of a wind generator. Does it depend on the average wind speed or location near water or are there other factors? 

Interesting points. These technologies have been used for about 25 years and are nearing their end of life. Plants are expensive to build, so ideally finding ways to squeeze more life out of the footprint seems like the better financial option. The challenge seems to be form factors, fitting new technology intro old frameworks. Ideally, some economically viable, easy to deploy solutions will emerge.
