Vertical Wind Energy at Ecobuild - major sustainable design exhibition
Ecobuild, 2 – 4 March 2010, Earl’s Court, London
Ecobuild is the biggest event in the world for sustainable design, construction and the built environment, Ecobuild has doubled in size every year since its launch in 2005
Vertical Wind Energy, the supplier and installer of the Field2 (up to 3kW) and Field3 (up to 6kW) vertical axis wind turbines for use in schools, commercial developments, rural locations and farms is attending the Ecobuild conference on 2 to 4 March 2010 at Earls Court London.
Vertical Wind Energy is exhibiting at stand number 410 (see: http://www.ecobuild.co.uk/exhibitor-list/profile/2381/vertical-wind-energy-ltd.html). A number of Vertical Wind Energy staff will be available to answer conference goers questions and to provide advice on a range of topics, including funding stream available to purchase a Vertical Wind Energy turbine, the planning consent process and most notably the recently announced Government Feed-In Tariff (FIT) system.
Speaking to attendees as the exhibition opened, Tony Gordon, Chief Executive, Vertical Wind Energy, stated:
“Vertical Wind Energy turbines can generate electricity regardless of the direction of the wind unlike many conventional horizontal axis wind turbines.”
“With the Government announcing Feed in Tariffs (FITs) of up to 34.5 pence for 1kW of energy generated from wind from April 2010, payable to anyone who installs a turbine, regardless of whether they use all the electricity themselves, purchasers of a Vertical Wind Energy turbine will instantly have a new income stream.”
“The payback on your investment on a Vertical Wind Energy turbine is between 5 and 10 years. A recent independent market survey looking at the 11 leading turbines on sale in the UK shows that VWE’s Field3 produces the lowest cost electricity, taking into account all costs over the 20 plus years lifetime of the turbine, for turbines rated at less than 10kW.”
Further the change in the planning regime around permitted developments should speed up the planning approval process. This should also be in place by late summer 2010. This will make it easier for customers to get planning approval and install such micro turbines.
