Each household uses approximately 4239 kWh each year in electricity (reference to come).
This means that Slough uses about 191,000,000kWh each year (or 191,000MWh, or 191GWh)
A 3MW wind turbine in Slough will produce about 3972MWh a year, or 4GWh. This is approximately 2% of the current electricity requirement for the town.
A household solar panel in the Thames Valley will produce about 2MWh each year, requiring approimately 2,000 such installations to produce the same amount of electricity as 1 3MW wind turbine, or 95,500 to meet the total requirement - over double the actual number of households.
That's the plain facts of electricity use in Slough.
