Wind Turbine BenefitsWhy install a Wind Turbine? · Reduce carbon emissions · Reduce or eliminate electricity bills · Increased security of electricity supply · Protection against price rises · Gain income from the sale of ROCs and surplus electricity · An investment that will pay for itself well within its lifetime A Wind Turbine is a medium term investment which will more than pay for itself over its lifetime. The length of time to recoup the initial investment depends on a number of factors such as wind speed, location and local landscape. Wind power is a clean, renewable source of energy which produces no carbon dioxide emissions or waste products. A 2.5Kw system can save 1-2 tonnes of C02 A 6kW system can save 2.5 - 5 tonnes C02 (source: Energy Savings Trust). At a good site, wind turbines represent a relatively low-cost method of micro-renewable electricity generation thus reducing carbon emissions. They can bring increased security of electricity supply to non-grid connected locations and give some protection against electricity price rises. You will receive Renewable Obligations Certificates (ROCs) for all the electricity you generate, providing you have a total generation meter. These can then be sold to electricity generators to allow them to meet their targets to derive a specified proportion of the electricity they supply to their customers from renewables. A business consumer can benefit from onsite generation of power by qualifying for exemption from the Climate Change Levy. You can also be paid for any surplus electricity you are able to supply to the Grid providing you install a bi-directional meter. After six months your wind turbine production will have offset the energy used to make it and you will be offsetting the pollution that would have been made by your utility company. |
