Grange Tigger Development Project
At Octopus Energy Generation, we’re on a mission to build green power for the future. We’re supercharging the green energy revolution with initiatives like the Octopus Fan Club and Plots for Kilowatts. These projects are all about more localised, people-powered wind energy.
Together, we’re making clean, green energy happen faster than ever before.
Have your say! 📣
This project is now in planning.
We received an overwhelming amount of love for local, green energy at our community consultation with 94% of you showing support for the project.
But consultation support is not enough! Have your say by adding your comments to our planning application.
It only takes a minute, and it could make a big difference for the Grange Tigger turbine. 💚
The Project
We’ve submitted a planning application to North Lincolnshire Council to construct a wind turbine near Winterton in North Lincolnshire.
The wind turbine we plan to put on site is an EWT DirectWind 61 model. This efficient wind turbine features a 61-meter rotor diameter and a 59-meter hub height, with blade tips reaching up to 89.5 meters. It’s designed to generate up to 1 MW of clean energy, enough to power around 800 homes.
We’re really excited that a potential wind turbine near Winterton could support North Lincolnshire’s bold plans for tackling climate change. The council’s already made great progress since declaring a Climate Emergency back in 2019 — and even a single turbine like this one could make a meaningful dent in local carbon emissions.
But how will this turbine benefit the local community?
We plan to offer a community benefit fund of £5,000 a year for the life of the project & work with the community to figure out the best way to distribute this locally.
As well as conducting robust habitat surveys & ecological assessments, we're committed to ensuring at least a 10% biodiversity net gain.
Your community has the potential to unlock local energy discounts through the Octopus Fan Club & opens the door to future shared ownership opportunities.
The turbine would be located in Winterton, North Lincolnshire. Check out the exact site location below...
Why Grange Tigger?
Here's why Grange Tigger stood out...
- ✅ Strong wind speeds: Wind speeds of approximately 6.5m/s at 60m are perfect for harnessing consistent wind energy
- ✅ Location: The nearest dwelling is 500m away and it's tucked away from major infrastructure, roads, and footpaths ensuring minimal impact on the local community.
- ✅ Connections: Ideally accessible for transport and delivery with close proximity to the port and energy estuary.
- ✅ Community support: We received an overwhelming amount of support at our community consultation with 94% of you showing support for the project.

The Octopus Fan Club
Customers living close to one of our Fan Club turbines can sign up to receive discounts on their electricity bill.
Using their own personal dashboard and forecast notifications, members can monitor their local Fan and shift their energy consumption to the times when it’s cheapest and greenest.
Community support is vital when it comes to the development of onshore wind projects. Add yourself to our Fan Club waiting list today and be the first to know if we launch a Fan Club in your area!
Be a part of the green energy transition and help us to move towards a cheaper and greener future.
Here's what our current Octopus Fan Club members have to say...
At first, I was sceptical about the savings I could make. I was staggered when the savings were credited to my account. I now keep my eye on the fan club regularly and try to use my washer and dryer.
I'm really impressed with Octopus and how they are helping our local community save money . It has helped me feel closer to the turbine and understand how they work.
I think the Fan Club is a brilliant idea. Not only does it make me think about how and when I use energy but it is also helping in the battle with climate change and saving me money as well, win win all round.
Planning Application
The planning application was submitted in March 2025. You are able to monitor its progress, view all assessments and make further comments here.
