Why do it:

On‑site wind generation provides a reliable source of renewable electricity, reducing grid dependence, stabilising long‑term energy costs, and cutting carbon emissions. It demonstrates visible commitment to sustainability.

Typical Savings:

• Electricity offset: 20–50% of site demand depending on turbine size, wind resource, and load profile.

• Annual savings: £20,000–£100,000 for medium industrial sites with suitable wind conditions.

• Payback period: Typically 7–12 years, faster with subsidies or tax incentives.

• Carbon reduction: ~0.3–0.5 tonnes CO₂ saved per MWh generated.

Typical Costs:

• Rule of thumb: £1,000–£2,500 per kW.

• Ongoing costs: £20–£30 per kW per year (maintenance & monitoring).
