Hainsford Developments Limited (Hainsford) is an independent wind energy development company owned by Charles Rose whose companies have developed, built, owned and operated wind farms in England, Scotland and Wales since 1992. These wind farms are Caton Moor in Lancaster, Dyffryn Brodyn in Carmathenshire, Four Burrows in Cornwall and Burgar Hill Turbine in Orkney Scotland. Currently Hainsford Energy (Blyth Harbour) Limited owns and operates Blyth Harbour Wind Farm in Northumberland and is seeking a permission to re-power this existing wind farm.

The Hainsford team have an established record of successfully re-powering existing wind farms. In 2006, they successfully completed the re-powering of Caton Moor Wind Farm located within the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), near to Lancaster. Here 10 turbines were replaced with 8 larger turbines, increasing the capacity of the wind farm from 3MW to 16MW.
