Site Visits
As part of the process a site visit may be necessary after an initial desk top analysis. The wind turbine evaluation experts visiting your farm possess a wealth of knowledge and expertise in their field. They specialize in a brief planning valuation, delivery, grid connection, performance, functionality, and safety of wind turbines. These experts have extensive experience in conducting thorough inspections, analysing data, and identifying any potential issues or optimizations in wind turbine systems. Their job involves evaluating various aspects such as structural integrity, electrical components, and operational efficiency to ensure optimal performance and adherence to industry standards. Their expertise plays a vital role in maximizing the effectiveness and reliability of wind energy generation on your farm.

Desk Top Analysis
This is the initial report steered using available data and resources without physically visiting the site. It involves analysing various factors and parameters related to the feasibility, performance, and potential impact of installing a wind turbine at a specific location. The analysis typically includes but is not limited to:
- Wind Resource Assessment
- Site Assessment
- Energy Production Estimation
- Financial Analysis
- Environmental Impact Assessment
- Grid Connection and Infrastructure Analysis
- Planning Review of the area
From this we gain an understanding of the viability and potential challenges associated with installing a wind turbine at that specific location. This will go on to inform decision-making and determines whether further on-site assessments or visits are necessary.

Energy Production and Opportunities
For thousands of years farmers have been harnessing and using solar energy. Almost every form of agriculture involves the sun, converting solar energy to support life.
Renting out your land can offer various benefits and opportunities. Here are some compelling reasons to consider:
- Stable Income: Renting will provide you with a steady and predictable income stream. Long-term lease agreements, ensure consistent rental payments.
- Farm Diversification: Additional income will support the primary income source from agricultural activities. This diversification will help reduce the constant risks associated with fluctuations in agricultural markets and weather conditions.
- Environmental Impact: By hosting wind turbines, you contribute to the expansion of clean and renewable energy generation. Wind energy reduces reliance on fossil fuels, helps combat climate change, and promotes a more sustainable and greener future.
- Land Stewardship: Our method of the selection and siting of wind turbines incorporate environmentally friendly practices, such as native vegetation restoration, habitat preservation, and land rewilding initiatives. You have a choice if you wish to actively participate in responsible land stewardship and contribute to conservation efforts.
- Land Utilization: If your land is unsuitable for traditional agricultural practices due to factors like topography, soil quality, or water availability, leasing it for energy production will provide an alternative and productive use for the land.
- Community Benefits: Wind farms can bring economic benefits to the local community. They create jobs during the construction phase and often require ongoing maintenance and monitoring, which can generate employment opportunities. Additionally, wind farms may contribute to the local economy through taxes, local supplier contracts, and community investment initiatives.
