Wind represents a vast source of energy that man has been harnessing for hundreds of years. The UK has the largest potential wind energy resource in Europe and wind power is currently one of the most developed renewable energy technologies.

With the implementation of Feed-in-Tariffs and significant enhancement to manufacturing processes, the use of wind turbines to generate electricity is set to offer a viable sustainable alternative and supplement to grid-connected electricity supply systems.

The modern wind turbine is quiet, simple to run and available in different sizes, depending on the required output. Generally Wind turbines are mounted on a tower at the high point on a site to optimise energy capture, generally because wind is stronger, more consistent and less turbulent higher off the ground.

Here at Kimpton we can advise on and supply the technical detail for systems that deliver enhanced environmental performance for specific situations.
