A WIND turbine between Grimethorpe, Cudworth and Shafton will be erected in June, it has been confirmed.
Paul Rea, chairman of the Four Winds Energy Co-op said work is already taking place under ground for the turbine's arrival.
The £1m wind turbine will be owned by the people of Cudworth, Grimethorpe and Shafton who bought shares through a co-operative scheme.
Once built, the turbine will generate enough electricity to power 370 households, but the power will be sold directly back to the National Grid to return revenue back to those who invested and to a community fund.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
