TV interference

 

Windfarms can also cause interference to TV reception. The BBC, Crown Castle, NTL, and Channel 5 were also consulted on the windfarm proposals. The BBC noted the potential for some interference to some analogue TV viewers; the other consultees had no objections.

Following this an expert independent study was commissioned to examine any potential interference. This concluded that due primarily to the imminent switch over to Digital Terrestrial Television, which is much less affected by windfarms, there will be no significant interference effects.
