In early 2007 ASDAsubmitted twoplanning applicationsfor 2 mega watt windturbines at ourdistribution depots in Falkirk andWakefield. Each ofthe turbines will beapproximately 125metres high and willgenerate energy tosupply the depots -in fact each turbine

will generate enoughenergy to power theequivalent of 1,100homes. The turbineswill completely ‘payback’ the energy ittakes to build themin just eight monthsand will continue toproduce clean, greenenergy forapproximately 25 years.
