Why Use One Wind Renewables?


Picture
The process of developing and erecting a wind turbine can be a complicated, expensive and daunting process for a landowner. There are many aspects to consider, such as connecting to the electricity grid and complex environmental assessments and surveys; for example, noise assessments, landscape appraisals, ecological surveys and aviation constraints.

Assimilating all this information means that planning costs can run into tens of thousands of pounds, with no guarantees of a successful planning consent. There are of course further issues to consider, including wind resource analysis of the site; this is a technically complicated field and can result in an uneconomical or a non-viable project if not executed correctly. There are numerous turbines available on the market which are designed for varying wind conditions; if wind characteristics are not assessed accurately, incorrect turbine selection will result in an inefficient energy yield, which may consequently result in thousands of pounds being lost over the lifetime of the project.

Furthermore, grid connection costs can run into six figure sums and so an early assessment is imperative to ensure viability of the project. Even if planning permission is obtained, the process of turbine construction and procurement are complicated. Turbine manufacturers are multi-national companies that often do not have the available resources to negotiate with individual landowners with limited technical knowledge of the wind turbine market. 

We therefore believe the zero risk, zero cost approach we offer to landowners, along with our extensive knowledge within wind energy development is an attractive proposition.  In addition, landowners can continue with their current activities without becoming heavily involved in the process.
