British Telecoms is set to invest in what E.ON calls the most commercially viable renewable energy technology in the world today.
The communications giant is planning on building a "small wind power development" in Lancashire in a bid to cut its carbon emissions.
BT claims that it is one of the UK's largest users of electricity and is aiming to cut its carbon emissions to 80 per cent of its 1996 levels by 2016.
Part of this process could be to build the two turbines at the Fanny Hill Farm at Heysham.
Andy Riley, head of partnership development for BT's wind farms project, says: "We envisage a two turbine proposal and are consulting with all relevant statutory bodies.
"We will also consult fully with the local community throughout the planning process and ensure this project is in keeping with BT's strong reputation as an environmentally responsible company."
The farm, which would generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of about 2,000 homes, will be slightly smaller than E.ON's Siddick wind farm in Cumbria.
In total E.ON operates 20 onshore and offshore farms and is in the process of building Robin Rigg in the Solway Firth.
