Hogacre CommonEco Park

Wind turbine

The former Corpus Christi College sports ground, now Hogacre Common Eco Park, is located 15 minutes’ walk along the river from Osney Lock, and is leased by the college to WOCoRe. It hosts a small wind turbine.

The 6kWe Proven turbine has an overall height of 17.5 metres including the 2.5 metre-long blades. WOCoRe oversaw the installation of the turbine in 2011, and it now belongs to Hogacre Common Eco Park, and provides electricity and income for the running of the Park.
