A wind turbine uses the power of the wind to turn its blades – and transforms this kinetic energy into electrical energy by using a generator.
Wind turbines stand at about up to 200m tall, with 3 blades measuring 83m in length.
Wind turbine towers are made from steel and concrete. The blades are made from fibreglass, reinforced polyester or wood-epoxy.
It really depends on the size and location, but we would hope to build an 18-100MW wind farm in between 24 and 36 months this includes pre-scoping, planning and construction.
The blades are large but the footprint of a wind turbine takes up very little space – less than 1% of the land area – this means the land can still be used for farming and tourism.
A wind turbine can produce electricity for 25-30 years.
The blades usually turn at around 12 revolutions per minute – but this can change depending on the wind speed.
Depending on planning and the grid connection offer, this can range from 36 months to 72 months.
Yes, absolutely. We are more than happy to collaborate with neighbours. Subject to viability.
Renewable energy is one industry that is full of myths and misconceptions. At Green Switch Capital, we believe that solar power represents the future.
Following the Paris Climate Agreement, the UK Government is committed to achieving net zero by 2050.
Onshore wind farms are becoming a key part of the discussion on how the country will transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy
Renewable energy is unique as a form of passive income. It offers you the chance to play your part in preventing climate change and protecting the planet.
We’re exploring the role of renewable energy in protecting our biodiversity and getting to the bottom of common misconceptions around solar power.
We’re working with hundreds of landowners to enable the UK to achieve net zero carbon by 2050 with a sustainable, self-reliant energy market.
