People in Durham are being invited to take a look at plans to build a wind farm in their area.
E.ON UK is planning to build a five turbine wind farm on Haswell Moor, near Easington, and has put its plans on display.
The public can view the proposals at Haswell Community Centre either today or tomorrow.
Matt Pinfield, project developer for E.ON UK Renewables, said: "It's extremely important to us to keep the local community fully informed and that's why we've set up this exhibition.
"We really would urge local people to come along on one of the days to see the plans and to have a chat through with staff any issues they might have.
"We're due to put a planning application in later this year and firmly believe that this is an excellent site for a wind farm."
The farm would generate enough energy to power 7,000 homes. The company already operates three wind farms in the county.
