11/03/2010 Interest-free loans now available to British Farmers for energy saving technology
British farmers are to have access to £12 million in interest-free loans to help them invest in energy-saving equipment and to bring renewable energy technology onto farms.
The loans which range from £3,000 to £20,000 came into effect in February 2010 through the Carbon Trust. It is estimated that through take up of the loans, the energy bill of the agricultural sector will be cut by £4 million, with Individual farmers saving an average of £10,000 a year.
The loans scheme is an extension of the Carbon Trust’s ‘Big Business Refit’, a nationwide campaign that encourages British businesses to replace old, energy intensive equipment.
Given the level of interest around Wind Energy within the farming community, Vertical Wind Energy welcomes the announcement of the interest free loans by the Carbon Trust.
Vertical Wind Energy continue to install turbines at farms and rural locations throughout the UK, with clients reporting excellent results, such as Mr Douglas from Friendship Farm, Devon who states;
“Alfie the turbine is revolving well and contributing to the running of Frienship Farm, we love her”
