Wind Turbine Power
Wind has been a source of clean energy for centuries. Wind was once used by windmills to grind corn or pump water. Today, turbines allow us to generate our own electricity. The systems can either supplement your existing electricity supply or be designed to provide a sole source of electricity for suitable equipment.
The windier the turbine's position, the more free electricity that you will be able to generate.
Our trained consultant will be able to survey your property and help you take full advantage of its energy potential. As an example of output, a well positioned 15kW turbine will generate between 30,000 and 35,000 kWh of electricity per year. 1 unit of electricity is equal to 1 kilowatt hour (kWh).
Exported Electricity & ROCs
Once the system is installed, the electricity generated will automatically be used in your home/premises. If more electricity is being generated than is being used then the surplus is exported back onto the national grid. The rate paid various from company to company but some tariffs offer over 10p per kWh. In addition to this you will be awarded a renewable obligation certificate (ROC) for every 1000kwhrs that your generate. This certificate can be sold to electricity suppliers for up to £40, this equates to an additional 4p per kWh. These improvements to the export tariffs mean that the payback for multi kW wind turbines is becoming quicker and quicker. Payback is often significantly less than 10 years.
Intelligent Energy Solutions have two branches that cover the whole of England and Wales. These branches are based in Loughborough near Leicester in Leicestershire and in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. This means that we are geographically close to Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire. Please feel free to give us a call to discuss your requirements.
