Expert renewable energy system’s installers, Absolute Solar & Wind Ltd are reaching out to landowners across the UK in a bid to find plots on which to install free wind turbines – providing an income stream for proprietors.
The offer is part of a project that could see landowners make up to £14,000 per year with no cost for planning grid connection, installation or maintenance.
ASAW will facilitate the whole process, including assessing the site for suitability and applying for planning permission and DNO grid connection.
Although other companies may offer site hosting, uniquely ASAW will manage and complete the full project cycle from initial introductory discussions, G59 grid connection applications and lease agreement to installation and annual maintenance.
Mark Newall, Managing Director at ASAW, who have been installing turbines for the last decade, said: “As the project will span over 20 years, landowners could make approximately £350,000.00- £400,000.00 for simply hosting our turbines.
“Landowners will only have one point of contact to liaise with and will be kept informed of the project’s development at all stages.
“It is very rare to see a company take on all up front liabilities such as full cost of the project and full planning, but this is what the scheme offers, at no cost what so ever to the site owner.”
Working with leading renewable solution distributors Flogas Renewables, ASAW will be installing Northern Power System wind turbines into the sites that gain approval.
The turbines offer a range of bespoke features, including energy generation in wind speeds of only 2.5 m/s ,lower height models that allow for easier planning and simplified grid connection.
The energy generated by the turbines will be returned to the national grid, although if the landowner would benefit from using a proportion of this themselves, then this can also be arranged.
Mark added: “We are very pleased to be able to offer this opportunity to those who want to reap the benefits of wind power but don’t have the financial means or the time to submit planning permission or arrange the installation.
“This project will also be of benefit to the environment as green energy, and its benefits become more accessible through its inception.”
Anyone who has a site that could be developed and would like more information should call ASAW on 0141 530 7644.
