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. Turbine prices range from around £450,000 for a 275kW Vergnet to around a million for an Enercon E-44, restricted to 500kW; depending on your site, incomes range from £150,000 to half a million a year.
We are usually working on several projects at this scale and they can take a year or more to get through planning, local community consultation, grid connection etc. We also organise finance and insurance, as well as setting up maintenance and operation service contracts.
