Bob Spink

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many wind turbines in Wales have(a) been erected and (b) not been erected despite being given planning permission. [169755]

Mr. Timms

As far as we are aware, the total number of wind turbines within Wales and with UK grid connection is 394, 30 of these are offshore at North Hoyle.

The total number of wind turbines to be erected for new projects within 2004, within Wales and with UK grid connection is 75.

We have no records of the number of "off-grid" turbines, nor of wind turbines granted permission but not built.
