4MW Wind Farm Planning Permission Granted

Renewable Energy Generation Limited ("REG" or the "Company") (AIM: WIND), the UK renewable energy group, today announces that it has received planning permission for the construction of a 4MW wind farm at French Farm near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire.

The planning approval allows REG to install two 2MW wind turbines on the greenfield site having successfully negotiated with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) following an objection regarding radar interference. Planning conditions were agreed by both parties in a form that allowed the MoD to withdraw its objection. Peterborough City Council was supportive of the application throughout the process but was unable to grant planning permission because of the MoD objection, which was only resolved during the planning appeal process.

The conditions accompanying the permission potentially require the approval of a scheme to mitigate the impact of the development on two nearby RAF bases. The development cannot be brought into operation until the earlier of approval of the mitigation or the expiry of four years from the date of the permission. Given the Company's priority of focusing on projects that will generate near-term commercial benefit, REG is considering the best way to progress any mitigation scheme.

In the formal decision, the planning inspector commented: "There is a wide array of International, European, and UK laws and policies which are aimed at tackling climate change and securing increasing energy supplies from renewable sources. In my opinion, the limited adverse effects arising from the proposed development would not be sufficient to outweigh these very strong material considerations."

Andrew Whalley, Chief Executive Officer of Renewable Energy Generation, said:

"The planning permission granted today is the result of persistence and diligence on the part of our development team over a long period and underpins the value of our organic development activities."
