Small Wind Turbines

C&F wind turbines give an excellent return on investment for anyone with a bit of windy land. Installed costs range from £35,000 to £165,000 and you can expect income in the region of £6,000 to £50,000, or even more if your site is very windy.


Medium Wind Turbines

Turbines in this range are popular with entrepreneurial farmers who have suffered from exposure all their lives and now want to make some money out of their wind-swept land. You will need a new connection to the grid and the planning process starts to become more onerous at this scale.


Large Wind Turbines

Proper, grown-up turbines capable of powering factories or towns, such as the Enercon E-70 with a rated output of 2.3MW; at this scale planning takes years, costs run into tens of millions and annual income is measured in millions.

The generation of electricity (and income) from wind power is a confusing topic, laced with technical terms, esoteric units, preconceptions and the occasional outrageous claim. This section aims to explain the main sources of confusion and to provide a basic introduction to the topic, which we feel is essential to anyone planning to make a significant investment.
