The turbines are owned and operated by Ecotricity, and together generate more than 3 Megawatts. One wind turbine boasts an observation deck just below the nacelle. These have now been joined now by a further eight turbines at North Pickenham. In the summer of 2006, location filming was done in the town for the ITV1 series Kingdom, starring Stephen Fry. In Kingdom the town is called Market Shipborough.
