The most efficient 225kW wind turbine can vary depending on various factors such as location, wind conditions, and the specific needs of the project. Some popular wind turbine brands in this capacity range include Vestas, Siemens Gamesa, and General Electric, and each offers different models with varying levels of efficiency. However, two of the most …
In December 2021 OFGEM quietly announced they are now allowing turbine owners to ‘repower’ with larger machines. Not many turbine operators seem to know about this at the moment, but it’s actually a huge opportunity for them. If you own a 80kw Endurance, you could repower (i.e. replace it) with a 225kw turbine, and — …
Wind farms are once again a viable option for UK farmers and land owners who want an extra revenue stream. This is in part due to rising cost of electricity imported from overseas. Wind power is one of the cheapest and cleanest sources of energy, and the UK has been developing onshore wind farms since …
In November 2021, representatives from over 200 nations around the world came together to address the global problem of climate change. The annual United Nations climate change conference took place in Glasgow, and ended on 13th November. But what was discussed? What decisions were made? And how will they reflect you as a consumer? Let’s …
With the ongoing energy crisis and the record high gas prices, many providers are struggling to continue providing their services as it becomes financially unsustainable for them to keep on working. Twenty-two energy companies have already gone bust and many more are expected to follow this path. You’ve probably heard – Bulb Energy, which has …
One of our customers emailed us this morning about trouble getting a PPA renewal quote. Unfortunately they’ve been told that their current PPA offtaker won’t allow them to renew, and ‘have paused all their winter pricing, because the market is too volatile.’ Our customer was asking if we can therefore recommend any other companies who …
A few years ago the UK Government made huge cut-backs to the Feed-In Tariff subsidy — which has drastically affected the viability of onshore wind in the UK. Sadly this means we are no longer able to discuss our land lease opportunities unless the site is ‘ready’ for installation. However, opportunities for wind turbines still …
If you’re wondering how to buy a wind turbine, the obvious question will be “How much do they cost?” At Boythorpe Wind Energy we provide remanufactured wind turbines – so we don’t have a standard price, and we don’t keep ‘stock’. We source used wind turbines based on every site’s unique requirements. For example, if …
The UK government abolished the Feed-in-Tariff subsidy quite some time ago, and for quite a few years farm-size turbines (50kw to 1MW) were no longer feasible. However, investing in a 225kW or larger wind turbine is once again feasible option for UK farmers, especially for sites with wind speeds in excess of 6.5 metres per …
