Small-scale wind energy

Small wind turbines

On the right site, a small wind turbine can generate a large share of a farm's or rural property's electricity, often when solar panels can't, such as in winter and at night.

Is your site suitable?

Wind turbines need a good, unobstructed wind. They work best on open, exposed land away from trees and buildings, which is why they suit many Norfolk farms and rural properties. Before recommending a turbine, we assess your site, likely wind speeds and your energy use, and we'll tell you honestly if it isn't a good fit.

What we do

  • Site assessment and system design
  • Installation and grid connection
  • Combined wind and solar systems
  • Servicing, inspections and repairs

Planning and grid connection

Many small wind turbines need planning permission, and requirements depend on size, location and how close the turbine is to neighbours. We advise on planning early in the process and handle notification to your network operator.

Common questions

Do I need planning permission for a wind turbine?

Often, yes. Some small turbines can be installed under permitted development if strict conditions are met, but many need a planning application. We'll advise for your site.

Does wind work well alongside solar?

Yes. Wind often generates most in winter and at night, while solar peaks in summer daytime, so the two complement each other well.

Do you service turbines you didn't install?

Yes. Get in touch with the make and model and we'll let you know how we can help.
