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 - Step 1 of our modular Windpower Feasibility Study. It takes about 20 minutes to work through the basic checks to see if your site might be suitable, 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 consider our modular Windpower Feasibility Study, so please Contact us to discuss your site further.
