Every Farmer in UK - England, Scotland, Wales And Northern Ireland will have a Wind Turbine in five years time! … (pending you have a suitable site!) states wind expert Mark Newton.
Backing this statement up is Madeleine Lewis from Farming Futures “Farmers with the right resources can do well out of renewable energy production. Producing energy on-farm can turn a profit, cushion you against rising oil and gas prices, and provide the UK with a secure, clean and renewable energy supply. It can also give access to new and better markets due to growing consumer interest in ‘low-carbon’ food.” ………“In our 2009 survey, 50% of farmers said they were taking action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from their farm, and we believe that on-farm energy generation could become the norm in the not-too-distant future.”
The NFU’s chief adviser (Dr Jonathon Scurlock) for renewable energy and climate change said, “The NFU’s aspiration is that every farmer should have the opportunity to be a net exporter of low-carbon energy. National targets and government incentives for renewable energy are creating significant new business opportunities.”
Which Wind Turbine?
Unlike many recent entrants to the small wind turbine market, Gaia-Wind boasts a 10 year record of reliability and outstanding performance. Gaia Wind Turbines are designed with over 20 years of Danish “big” wind turbine design experience built into them, incorporating many of the safety features found on large utility-scale wind turbine farms.
Look at what others have done:
Take a closer look at the North Antrim Diary Farmers Association (Northern Ireland). With so many wind turbines on the marketplace, deciding which one suits your needs best, is a massive problem for any farmer. Indeed, the North Antrim Co-Op buyers faced such a problem. And only after intensive investigations and speaking to resellers of turbines in NI, did they decide to buy Gaia – but only after visiting 10yr old Gaia wind turbines in Denmark.
With any renewable project – product operational history is the key to a more secure, greener and profitable future.
