Turbine shadows ‘upset prisoners’

A wind turbine near a top-security prison is being switched off in the early mornings because the flickering shadows it creates annoy inmates.

The £1m turbine next to Whitemoor Prison near March, Cambridgeshire, produces electricity for 4,000 homes.

But Longhill Energy has agreed to halt the turbine because of possible “security problems” if prisoners became upset over the flickering shadows.
