Micro Gen Wind Turbines
Powerful & sustainable
Approximately 40% of all wind energy in Europe* blows over the British Isles, meaning that we are ideally located to benefit from domestic wind turbines.
Harnessing the power of micro-wind or small-wind turbine systems in an exposed position to generate electricity, can produce more than enough energy to power the lights and electrical appliances in a typical home. And businesses and farms too can benefit from wind power as part of a bespoke renewable energy generation strategy that maximises an exposed location.
Ideally you should have a professional assessment of the suitability for wind harnessing as the strength and direction can fluctuate. Plus, planning permission will be required and require an expert approach to secure it. That said, wind can be successfully used in combination with other renewable and conventional systems to make up shortfalls across the year.
Whilst some turbines can generate a megawatt (1000 kW) or more, a standard domestic system can produce between 2.5kW and 6kW depending on the location of the property, so when the wind blows there is a plentiful energy supply.

Why invest in a Wind Turbine?
Renewable Source
Wind turbines harness the power of wind to generate electricity, which as a renewable energy source that does not deplete like fossil fuels.
Reduced Carbon Emissions
Wind energy is a clean source of energy that produces no greenhouse gas emissions, helping to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change.
Low Operating Costs
Once installed, wind turbines have relatively low operating costs and require minimal maintenance, making them a cost-effective source of energy.
Energy Independence
Wind energy can help reduce dependence on foreign oil and promote energy independence.
Efficient Land Use
Wind turbines can be installed on land that is also used for agriculture or other purposes, allowing for efficient land use.
Scalability
Wind energy can be scaled up or down depending on the energy needs, making it a flexible source of energy that can be adapted to different circumstances.
