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.
Wind turbine performance and wind project finances
- How much power could I generate from a wind turbine?
- How much energy could I generate from a farm wind turbine?
- How much money would a farm wind turbine provide?
- How much does a farm wind turbine/small wind farm turbine cost?
- How much does a wind turbine cost to operate?
- What would the return on investment be from a farm wind turbine?
- Are there any Feed-in Tariffs or grants available for farm wind turbines?
- Feed-in Tariffs for farm wind turbines, and other sources of income
- Wind resource assessments
Wind turbine fundamentals
- What makes a good wind power site?
- Could I install wind turbines on a working farm?
- How windy does it have to be?
- Can the wind speed be increased at the site?
- How long will the whole project take?
- How long do wind turbines installations last?
General windpower
- How large are farm wind turbines / medium-wind turbines?
- Which turbine types do we recommend?
- 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?
- What are the main project risks for wind power?
- Is there an association for people interested / involved in wind power?
- I want to move ahead – what’s the next step?
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.
