Windpower learning centre
We’ve put together a wealth of information on wind power projects, covering both the financial and technical aspects. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, please let us know and we’ll add a new section.

General windpower
- How large are farm wind turbines / medium-wind turbines?
- What is the ‘wind class’ of a wind turbine?
- Can the energy be consumed on site?
- Can I go ‘off-grid’ and be independent?
- How much noise does a wind turbine make?
- What site access is required?

Wind Turbines
Introduction to the wind turbine manufacturers we currently recommend and work with.
Want to install a wind turbine?
If you are in the UK then take our Wind Site Self-Assessment - The first step to provide information we need to complete a Windpower Feasibility Study. It takes about 20 minutes to work through the basic checks, including:
- Estimating wind speed
- Checking proximity of nearby properties
- Checking site access and approach roads
- Investigating connection with the grid
If you are in the Republic of Ireland, or overseas, the first step is to Contact us to discuss your requirements and to complete a Windpower Feasibility Study.
