Welcome to Greenbuild 2009
Greenbuild is over for 2008, but we are already looking forward to next year
Last year's event at Felbrigg Park, near Cromer in North Norfolk, was enjoyed by 4,500 visitors, a 20% increase on 2007. We had 45 exhibitors, 12 active demonstrators and 11 speakers on a range of environmental topics.
Catering was a big success, too, with organic and local produce available, while the family entertainment on offer was enjoyed by adults and children alike.
427 complete questionnaires were collected in return for free compost, and these are currently being assessed to help us plan an even better event for 2009.
Greenbuild 2009 will take place once again at Felbrigg Park over the weekend of 12 and 13 September, 10.30am – 4pm
Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm supports Greenbuild 2009
Greenbuild 2009 is to be supported by Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm, which is being developed by Scira Offshore Energy Limited.
Scira is jointly owned by StaoilHydro, a world leading operator of offshore oil and gas fields, and Statkraft, a utility and Europe’s largest producer of renewable energy. StatoilHydro will be the operator for the project during the development phase.
Sheringham Shoal will be built on a 35 kilometre square site located around 20 kilometres due north of Sheringham in North Norfolk. It will consist of 88 wind turbines, each one being 80 metres [260 feet] high. When fully operational by the end of 2011, the wind farm will produce 1.1TWh of green electricity every year, which is roughly equivalent to the annual consumption of around 220,000 British homes.
