Section 1 The First Wind Farms      The first wind farms were established to harness the power of the wind for various purposes including electricity generation    Here are some of the earliest wind farms and their significance Crotched Mountain Wind Farm The first wind farm in the world consisting of twenty 30 kW wind turbines was installed in December 1980 at Crotched Mountain in New Hampshire    Delabole Wind Farm The first commercial wind farm in the UK Delabole was created in November 1991 and consisted of ten turbines    Vindeby Wind Farm The first offshore wind farm in the world Vindeby was built in 1991 in Denmark and had a total installed capacity of 5 megawatts     Blyth Offshore Wind Farm The first UK offshore windfarm Blyth began operation in 2003 and became the biggest in the world at the time    These wind farms were pivotal in the development of wind energy paving the way for the widespread adoption of wind power as a clean and renewable energy source    

Section 2A The first solar panel farms in the United States were the Carrizo Solar Corporation and the Lugo Solar Power Plant    These farms were pivotal in the early development of solar energy in the country  

Section 2B A brief history of solar parks        1982 in California since decomissioned         1984 in California since decomissioned        2004 Hemau Germany        2008 Spain        More Recently  the USA China India France Canada and Italy amongst others have also become major markets         Early Photovoltaic deployment concentrated on standalone off grid applications and grid connected systems were rare before the 1980s    The first hesitant steps towards grid connection focused on building integrated decentralized systems but the European pilot program did support some community scale projects mainly in isolated island locations    The first 1 MEGAWATT peak or photovoltaic solar park was built by Arco Solar at Lugo near Hesperia California at the end of 1982    This was followed in 1984 by a 5 point 2 MEGAWATT peak or photovoltaic installation in Carrizo Plain    Both have since been decommissioned    In 2004 a community owned 4 MEGAWATT plant was built in Hemau    The next stage followed the 2004 revisions to the German feed in tariffs starting with the 5 MEGAWATT Leipziger Land project in former Eastern Germany    Several hundred installations over 1 MEGAWATT peak or photovoltaic have been since been installed in Germany of which more than 50 are over 10 MEGAWATT peak or photovoltaic With its introduction of feed in tariffs in 2008 Spain became briefly the largest market with some 60 solar parks over 10 MEGAWATT though this market has declined because these incentives were  withdrawn    More recently the USA China India France Canada and Italy amongst others have also become major markets    The largest solar parks currently operating have capacities of one quarter to one half GigaWatt p including The First Solar Agua Caliente plant in South West Arizona which was about half built when we visited in late 2011    Projects at a scale of 1 GIGAWATT peak or photovoltaic are now being planned    Solar parks in the UK    The first utility connected solar power plant in the UK was built at the former Marchwood Power Station    It was the introduction of the Feed in Tariffs that stimulated the first wave of utility installations with about twenty solar parks between 2 and 5 MEGAWATT connected before the end of July 2011 when tariffs for larger installations were cut drastically    Westcott Chittering and Westmill were amongst those projects    The dramatic price reductions over the next year or so brought projects back to viability even at reduced levels of support    A second wave of installations was completed in the first quarter of 2013 mostly supported under the Renewables Obligation rather than the Feed in Tariffs    New projects continue to be planned consented and constructed with the UK in 2013 to 2014 amongst the most attractive markets in Europe  

Section 3A Individual Solar Parks        The Carrizo Energy Solar Farm was a proposed One hundred seventy seven MEGAWATT solar thermal power plant to be built by Ausra in Carrizo Plain in California near Simmler    The location gets less sun than the Mojave Desert where several other solar thermal plants are under consideration but is near an existing transmission line from Diablo Canyon Power Plant reducing the cost and time needed to construct the plant    The five hundred fifty million dollar power plant would have provided enough power for sixty thousand homes and Pacific Gas and Electric PG and E entered into a contract to buy all the power from the power plant    Ausra claimed its technology can deliver power at 10 point 4 cents per kilowatt hour    Ausra planned to have the plant generating power by 2010 using the Ausra Compact Linear Fresnel Reflector CLFR solar technology    In November 2009 Ausra announced that it had sold its options to the six hundred forty acres  Two hundred sixty hectare or ten thousand square meters of land to First Solar and canceled its contract with PG and E    First Solar will use some of the land for its Topaz Solar Farm

Section 5         Industrial heritage sites repurposed for renewable energy installations    Industrial heritage landscapes such as former mining sites or industrial complexes can be repurposed for renewable energy installations transforming sites of past environmental impact into sources of clean energy  

Section 6        Air Polluting Energy Generation should not be claimed by any one cultural group as a heritage site      All cultural groups living on the earth have inherited dirty energy generation since wood burning began   Consider Heritage Clean Energy Sites versus wood burning sites
