Are you a landowner in Northern Ireland (or Scotland or Italy) with planning permission in place for a wind turbine of 200kW or higher - 30 metre tower height - 26 metre or larger rotor diameter and a grid connection offer in place?
If you are, then you’ll know that the final piece of the jigsaw you will need in place is the wind turbine itself. And that can be a problem as new wind turbines of this kind sell for around £350,000 or more. Not the sort of money you have lying around in the banks, or that you’d like to commit to borrow and be paying interest on for years to come (assuming you can find a bank willing to lend). But here’s a solution and a magnificent opportunity- a free Wincon 200kW turbine and a joint venture for its installation, connection and then reaping the rewards of green energy production. The landowner would maintain a majority ownership of the site rather that just receiving leasing fees and so be a key investor in a renewable energy venture that is expected to produce a handsome return.
This is a one-off not-to-be-missed opportunity that won’t come knocking at your door again. First come, first served: If you fit the bill then call MWPS straight away and start paving the path to a lucrative future in renewable energy. Northern Ireland, Scotland and Italy not only have the best wind to be harvested but also the highest feed-in tariffs around for this size of turbine, making them the most profitable countries to go into partnership or invest in.
Alternatively, are you an investor with money available who wants to come in and invest in this exciting project? Your cash to finance the civil works, installation, commissioning and grid connection of the wind turbine will make you a partner and able to reap the rewards along with the landowner and turbine provider. Call MWPS straight away. Why is investing in this project so attractive? Because the first choice for any wind power development must be Northern Ireland, which along with Scotland and Italy is one of the most desired countries to invest in renewable wind power. I’ll explain why:
Over recent years, a number of studies have consistently highlighted the value of NI’s natural wind energy resource. In fact NI is regarded as having one of the richest wind energy resources in Europe. In 2003, the Department of Enterprise Trade and Investment commissioned a detailed wind mapping exercise to help identify the areas of particular potential. This exercise confirmed the very significant wind resource in NI. The predicted mean wind speed and power in most such locations across NI is in the range of 6 to 7 m/sec and in many other locations up to 8 to 10.5 metres per second which is regarded as highly sufficient to support economical wind energy projects.
The table, drawn from information provided by the Meteorological Office shows that Ireland’s long-term average wind speed is the highest compared with the other countries and regions making up onshore Europe.
Apart from having such a rich wind resource, from April 2010 wind turbines of up to 250kW in NI receive four Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROCs) per MW per hour of energy generated. These ROCs can then be sold to electricity supply companies, which use them to fulfil their obligation of supplying renewable energy to customers. The ROC scheme is guaranteed and underwritten by the NI Government for a period of 20 years, providing the opportunity for excellent returns for investors for the creation of high-yield wind farms by installing and maintaining the right wind turbines at the right locations. Many investment consortia have already taken advantage of this and leased fields in suitable locations from NI farmers and landowners. The offer below is slightly different in that the landowner will be embraced into a partnership and so will also be an investor and draw income the profits that connection to the Grid will bring, not from leasing fees which are usually much lower.
It’s been shown over the last few years that the NI Government’s commitment to encouraging renewable energy is solid and that the economic incentives to invest in wind power farms is tangible and long-term. Under the Northern Ireland Renewables Obligation and its use of the ROCs (equivalent to the UK’s Feed in Tarrifs), the market has long-term stability through 20 year contracts which should bring a very good return.
Smaller turbines (which include the Wincon 200kw turbine offered below) also qualify for Northern Irelands FIT’s incentive scheme in which operators receive four times the ROCs certificates per MW per hour than that of turbine installations above 250kw. This makes small-scale wind turbine installations in areas on high wind velocity such as Northern Ireland a very lucrative investment. The Northern Ireland Executive has a target to deliver 40% renewable electricity and 10% renewable heat by 2020. Therefore the UK and Northern Ireland Government’s commitment to encouraging renewable energy is long-term. Now is a very good time to invest in small scale wind farms in NI because land suitable for investment and installation of wind turbines is 80% owned by the farming community, and are remote from large centres of population. More and more farmers are keen to make their land available for renewable energy so as to achieve additional income to supplement that from farming due to continuous encouragement by popular trade and farming publications such as ‘The Farming Life’ to diversify their farming revenue streams by entering the wind business.
The ROCs Scheme will close to new generators on 31 March 2017. Generators who are accredited under the Renewables Obligation Scheme will continue to receive their full lifetime of subsidy (20 years) after 2017. The scheme will close completely in 2037. The sooner investors and landowners get on board, the better, because the best locations (those with the highest wind speeds, are being snapped up.
The opportunity to get on board with a 200Kw turbine for free is therefore a rare and attractive option. Here’s the details of this one-off opportunity:
