Wind Turbine Ltd UK will undertake a free no obligation desktop study on your behalf to asses your site for the suitability of a wind turbine.

It may not be as complicated as you think to asses your site for the suitability of a wind turbine, there are several wind monitoring stations in the country, look at www.xcweather.co.uk for live wind speeds close to you.

The main features of a good site are open aspects, no obstructions from buildings, trees etc, average wind speed above 6m/s, are suitable, though not in a built up area although trading estates and industrial areas in built up areas are acceptable as are sites with open space in built up areas. Wind turbines perform best when spinning at constant speed, gusts and buffering, changes in wind direction all work against the machine and so it is important to pick the site carefully.
If the desktop study is favourable we would visit your site and carry out an in depth survey and proposal for your site, a fee may be requested depending on distance to your site. The fee for the survey is fully refunded if you go ahead with the installation.

Our in-house planning team will apply on your behalf for planning permission, we have twenty years of experience in applying for planning permissions, a fee is charged for this part of the service as there are no guarantees with planning and our involvement in this part of the process is time consuming. A typical fee is a £170 application fee, payable to the local authority (householder application), and £330 for a commercial full planning application on submission for processing your application, and a £350.00 admin fee payable to Wind Turbine Ltd UK.
|
The fee payable to Wind Turbine Ltd UK is for preparing the standard planning application, inclusive of ordnance survey extract and copyright fee, planning application forms, completed scaled drawings of the turbine and its location on the site, standard planning data from RSPB, English Nature, and Manufacturers technical literature. What is not included is for a scale drawing showing the turbine relative to the adjoining buildings, if this is required a separate fee will be charged, this is due to the fact that the turbine could be next to a shed or a complex structure taking several hours to measure and record.
Wind Turbine Ltd UK can handle the G83 form which is the form that registers your turbine with the DNO (District Network operator), if multiple units are to be installed and the rating goes over 16 amps per phase then a G59 form is required.

|
Line checks are required and the DNO can charge a fee for this and also if any upgrade is required on the line. This is only necessary when installing larger turbines.
Selling energy can be done through a number of companies and we recommend that you shop around, below are some links to various company websites.
