How We Can Help You
We have more than 35 years of combined experience in the renewable energy sectors, and have collectively been involved in literally thousands of wind turbine projects, across the United Kingdom.
Over the last fifteen years we've worked on wind projects of all sizes, from small 25kw pole mounted turbines up to huge wind farms.
Our refurbished wind turbines are installed on farms across the UK, and provide land owners with extra income and reduced electricity costs.
No matter how unusual or unique your requirements are, we can probably help.
In 2015, we installed a Boythorpe remanufactured Vestas V47 500kw wind turbine on a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides.
The ferry and island roads were too small, so the turbine had to be delivered by beach landing craft!
In 2014, we sold a Boythorpe Vestas V27 wind turbine to a leading UK University, to train the next generation of wind turbine engineers.
It doesn't get much wind—the nacelle is actually inside the college!
As you can see, it's had the cover removed, and we modified the turbine so the students could see the internal components. We also fitted some 'caps', so the students could see where the blades would normally attach.
We are also one of the only (if not the only) UK based turbine refurbishment companies who have in-house facilities to recoat turbine blades with aircraft grade paint.
This is performed in our purpose built factory on Boythorpe Farm, in North Yorkshire.
These are just a few examples of our unique experience and capabilities.
As well as these rather unique projects, we do of course install our turbines on 'normal' farmland, and industrial sites around the UK.
Whatever your own unique requirements, we have the knowledge and experience to help and advice.

About Boythorpe
Boythorpe is the name of the farm where our company was founded and operates from to this day.
It's a name synonymous with agricultural innovation, ever since the 1960s when it started manufacturing green 'Boythorpe Cropstores' tower silos that you may have seen on farms around the UK.
Innovation continued throughout the 70s and 80s with the 'Yorkshire Wold Mushrooms' venture that at one time was one of the largest employers in our area, with more than 200 staff picking and packing mushrooms on a commercial scale every day of the week.
In the early 90s we had one of the UK's first 'digital' sheep flock - where our 400 flock of Suffolk Cross ewes were all micro-chipped and had unique identities that allowed us to track lambing percentages and medication - allowing us to be 'more than' fully compliant with record keeping legislation.
Also around that time we had a 10,000 tonne commercial grain store and dried and stored grain and rapeseed for hundreds of farmers in the surrounding area.
Our wind turbines are not only helping the environment, but also helping farmers generate extra income during tough times, including the knock-on effects of Brexit, global pandemics and climate change. .
Two ways we can help you...
We can sell you remanufactured wind turbines, so you can develop your own wind farm—and receive 100% of the income they generate.
We install wind turbines for free and rent your land—then we pay you a percentage of the gross revenue every three months, totally risk free.
