Wind Turbines - What happens next?

If you are still interested in using renewable energy the first thing to check is your average wind speed via the BERR database. If this is shows that the wind turbine is a viable option then give us a call on 0845 094 1752 or email info@alvestaenergy.com in order to arrange for one of our staff to call, explain your options, examine your electrical supply from the grid and to perform a full planning appraisal – including submission of the relevant forms.

We will look at your site and its suitability for a wind turbine but we will also take all your energy needs into account and it may be that other products would give you a better return compared to a wind turbine or look at the turbine as part of an integrated package. We will provide you with a quotation according to our recommendation detailing the options that are available to you.

If your planning application is successful, or the advice is that you do not require planning permission, you then need to place a firm order with us accompanied by a deposit of 10% of the quoted cost.

As soon as your deposit is received a process starts which is calculated to result in the installation and commissioning of your turbine around 12 weeks later. We cannot install turbines in high winds for safety reasons so there may be a slight delay in completing the installation if it is in a period of sustained high winds.
