What Is Medium Wind?
Medium wind in the UK refers to generation from turbines with a capacity of between 50 and 500 kW. Government incentives for wind energy have transformed the return on invesment for medium wind projects. As a result of the feed-in tariff scheme, and the medium wind band, even a single turbine can generate a significant [...]
Wind Turbines
The principle upon which wind turbines are designed has been with us for centuries, used in windmills to drive machinery for grinding grain or pumping water. A wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical energy which in turn is used to generate electricity. However, modern turbine designs have [...]
Why Generate?
For the first time, individuals, businesses and communities can become energy independent. We can now produce renewable energy at a scale that more than meets our individual needs. The power is in our hands to transform how we generate and consume energy and in so doing help reduce our impact on the planet’s ecosystem. The [...]
Selling Your Energy
A feed-in tariff, or FIT, is a government policy mechanism designed to encourage investment in renewable energy. Eligible renewable energy generators (which could be farmers, landowners, business owners or homeowners) are offered long-term contracts for the electricity they produce. As a generator you will get paid for the electricity you produce, even if you use [...]
Your Project Lifecycle
Your wind energy project lifecycle consists of several key phases. The diagram below outlines some of the points you will need to consider. You’ll find additional information in the remainder of this section where we outline each of the phases.
Financing Your Project
In these economically stretched times, obtaining finance is naturally one of the primary constraints on your project. As banks have become more risk-averse, we have seen the track-record of the plant being funded become increasingly important. Banks and investors are typically making a 20-year investment decision. They find technology that does not have at least [...]
