Wind Turbines

Minimal cost systems can provide large amounts of power, even in an average wind ... So...maybe the answer my friend.. is..afterall..blowing in the wind!

Wind Turbine Kits include:
Wind turbine with Hub, the fixed wing aerofoil blades (To furl out of wind therby avoiding damage in high winds) a 6m tower in 3 sections.
Guy wires with tensioners plus a charge controller plus optional dump load 220v mains inverter.

Is this all blow?

Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill receives Royal Assent
Wednesday 20 June 2006

The exciting new microgeneration sector has today received a huge boost with the Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Bill passing its final Parliamentary stage and receiving Royal Assent. The Private Members Bill, promoted by MP Mark Lazarowicz and supported by a range of industry and environmental associations, will prioritise policy measures to support consumer-based microgeneration and breakdown many of the barriers facing uptake of the sector.

The Bill promotes household microgeneration and community energy schemes, helping alleviate cold homes and fuel poverty, and specifically requires 'route-maps' and targets for microgeneration to be set, governmental accountability through annual reporting on carbon dioxide emissions, reporting on dynamic demand and smart metering, along with a review of permitted development rights, local plans and building regulations and other measures.

As Mark Lazarowicz MP said:

“This Bill will give a big boost to householders and local groups who want to install renewable energy in their own houses and communities. Small scale renewable energy - microgeneration - can make a significant contribution to the UK's energy needs. It is clear, from the thousands of people who have contacted me during the course of this Bill, that this technology has captured the public's interest. It is now up to industry, local authorities and central government to respond to the public demand”.

We know from the market that our prices are competitive and many of our wind turbines cost 50% less, in many cases more than 50 % less, than some similar turbines offered by our competitors.

Our large commercial wind turbines are in many instances less than half the price of other suppliers. On a 750kw windturbine that could save you in excess of £500,000, That is correct a saving of more than half a million pounds sterling!

We can arrange for consultants with international wind turbine project management and installation experience to complete a feasibility study ( There is no point ordering a turbine if there is not enough wind at the proposed site), and a site survey ( A relatively small investment could save you wasting a large amount of money if a project is not viable - in addition a consultant can ‘arrange’ everything else following arrival of the ordered wind turbine at sea port onwards, customs clearance, transportation, preparation, foundation building, erection, cabling, grid connection both the physical side and ‘approvals of grid owner’, surplus power export contract, export metering, computerized control of turbine, commissioning and project insurance plus all permissions from relevant authorities, and insurance covers etc.

The first question which needs to be established is 'will you have enough wind!' to meet the aims of your project- is it viable! Our consultants can help you answer this. If in the u.k the following websites may be of help!
