It sounds too good to be true but under the Feed-in Tariff Scheme, which started in April 2010, you will be paid for all the electricity you generate from an approved domestic Wind Turbine.
If you’re asking yourself if domestic wind electricity generation suitable for your home, there are a few key questions to consider:
Do you have any large obstacles like buildings, trees or hills near your home? Small domestic wind turbines work best in exposed locations, without the kind of air turbulence caused by obstacles.
Is your home in a windy area already? To be effective you need an average windspeed of no less than 5m/s. Solar PV panels are an alternative to domestic wind generation.
The Government has made the Feed-in Tariff payments tax exempt for householders, so making them even more attractive. Plus, you will be reducing your carbon footprint.
There are plenty of benefits of home wind electricity generation:
You are harnessing a plentiful energy source as in the UK we have 40% of Europe’s total wind energy.
You will be cutting your carbon footprint! Wind electricity is green, renewable energy and doesn’t release any harmful carbon dioxide or other pollutants.
You will cut your electricity bills out totally if you are in the right spot. Wind is free, so once you’ve paid for the initial installation your electricity costs will be reduced.
You can even store electricity for a calm day with no wind because you can store excess electricity in batteries and use it when there is no wind – or you can sell it to the National Grid and make money while helping everyone go green.
