Get Real With Wind ! – Annual Revenue Generation Figures – Some Clarity Required.

Today, I had an interesting telephone conversation with a farmer from Co Down, regarding wind turbine revenue generation. The chap in question, was basically ringing around wind turbine resellers in Northern Ireland, and enquiring about their respective wind turbines models..

He said, that after speaking to a few wind turbine companies, the pay-back and annual revenue generation from wind turbines that are available in Northern Ireland, varied drastically…

The turbines he enquired about, where  in the 10kw – 20kw range. One reseller quoted that their turbine would make £16k pa, while the other reseller claimed £10k pa. Now, given that i quoted him approx £7k pa (£7.5k minus servicing costs) annual revenue generation, he was slightly bemused to say the least. And given that a Gaia 11kw makes more power than both these turbines in his wind range (approx 6.5 m/s), he was even more confused! 

I passed him Action Renewables contact details,  as he clearly needed some independent wind turbine advice! 

As  Action Renewables  is the leading organisation in Northern Ireland in the promotion and development of renewable energy in Northern Ireland, i have asked them to look into the matter… watch this space!
