<p>Britain&#8217;s first commercial wind farm is set to reopen after a multimillion-pound redevelopment which will double potential output.</p>
<p>Energy Secretary Chris Huhne is to relaunch the Delabole wind farm 20 years after the blades first started turning on the site.</p>
<p>The wind farm opened in 1991 with 10 turbines, which stand at 164ft, at the remote site near Wadebridge in Cornwall.</p>
<p>Mr Huhne will unveil four more powerful turbines standing 325ft high, which harness wind more effectively.</p>
<p>The potential electricity generated will more than double to 9.2 megawatts &#8211; enough to power 7,000 homes.</p>
<p>Mr Huhne said: &#8220;Delabole was the first commercial wind farm in the UK and, in its new form, it remains at the forefront of best practice.</p>
<p>&#8220;Wind is an abundant, clean, home-grown alternative to fossil fuels.</p>
<p>&#8220;It can&#8217;t be blown off course by instability abroad and so it&#8217;s vital we use it for our low-carbon, energy security.&#8221;</p>
<p>Electricity supplier Good Energy has run Delabole since 2002 and spent £11.8 million on the revamp.</p>
<p>Chief executive Juliet Davenport said: &#8220;Delabole wind farm now accounts for 20% of the total 100% renewable electricity supplied by Good Energy and is the first in a pipeline of new wind energy projects we&#8217;re working on.&#8221;</p>
