Faulty equipment delays erection

Erection of the 26 giant turbines at a new £60m  wind farm on Romney Marsh has begun after a delay caused by problems with the giant crane lifting the components into place.

In preparation for the assembly of the 115m-high turbines, the German-made propeller blades had been transported in 78 lorries across Kent from Chatham docks.

Two turbines will be erected every week until the end of September.

Once online, the wind farm, which received planning approval in 2005 after local opposition and a public inquiry, will generate enough electricity to power 33,000 UK homes.
