The proposed development of a wind turbine on the Olympic Park site has been rejected by the Olympic Delivery Authority.
The ODA had hoped to install the turbine for Eton Manor in its bid to deliver 20% of the park’s energy requirements from renewable sources from 2014.
A combination of new regulations and a difficult delivery timetable meant the project became unfeasible.
ODA Chief Executive David Higgins said: 'We have carried out an exhaustive process with the industry and suppliers over the last two years to find a viable way of delivering a wind turbine on the Olympic Park site.
“However, the industry environment has changed and that means the project is no longer feasible.
'We have a strong track record in sustainability and we remain committed to meeting the challenging renewable energy targets we have set ourselves.
“Our focus is now on researching a number of alternative renewable energy options across the Olympic Park site to help contribute to these targets and compliment the other state-of-the art new energy infrastructure we are building.”
