The Delabole wind farm is a wind farm located in Delabole, Cornwall, England. It was the first commercial wind farm constructed in the UK.^[1]

The farm was first proposed in 1989, and was opened in 1991.^[2][1] For its first two decades, it operated ten wind turbines, built by Vestas,^[2] but in February 2011 an £11.8 million rebuilding of the facility was completed, which added four new turbines, which are larger than the original ones.^[1] After the rebuilding, the facility has a total potential power output of 9.2 megawatts,^[1] an increase from the original four megawatt output.^[2]
