What can I earn?

Wind Turbines effective way to capture the energy from the wind and make a reliable return on your investment. Let us show you how.

Income and savings come from a Wind Turbine come in three ways:

1. The Feed in Tariff

This is a payment made on every unit of electricity you produce (even if you use it yourself!). Click here to find out further details on the Feed in Tariff.

2. Energy Saving

Producing and using your own electricity reduces your electricity bill by reducing imported electricity

3. Export

When you are producing more energy that the house is using you can sell electricity back to your energy supplier. Export payments are paid in addition to the Feed in Tariff.

A further financial benefit for domestic owners of wind turbines is that the income you generate is TAX FREE
