Commercial Renewable Energy Solutions - Wind

Why Wind?

Rising Electricity Prices

With electricity prices rising by around 15% in 2011 in the UK with more to follow in the foreseeable future, schools need to review their electricity costs and how it is being provided. Using renewable energy, like solar energy, not only lessens the impact of these price increases but also provides much needed monies for schools.

Reduce Carbon Footprint

In addition to using less energy from fossil fuels, schools can make a positive contribution to reduce carbon emissions in the UK public sector by £1 billion.

Currently schools represent approximately 15% of public sector greenhouse gas emissions and 2% of the UK total, with 5m tonnes of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere each year. Another 5m tonnes are attributed to the school run and the manufacture of school equipment and consumables.

According to the Carbon Trust, schools in the UK could save around £70 million simply by reducing energy costs. As well as saving schools money, making an effort towards cutting carbon emissions can also open up a range of funding opportunities.

Great return on investment - lock down electricity costs for 20 years.

As soon as the turbine is commissioned and the wind blows - savings are made. With rising energy costs many more people are turning to small wind as an investment in a sustainable future - customers are reducing energy costs by 50% and more – some are turning from oil to affordable wind power.

Locking down electricity costs, gaining some energy security, and getting a great return on investment has got to be a winning combination.

In the UK and some other countries, you can also receive an income for generating renewable energy and exporting power to the national grid. Owners in the UK are eligible for Feed-in Tariffs (FiTs). This UK incentive scheme provides financial rewards for the generation of renewable energy
