Wind turbines
Earlier this year my husband and I applied for planning permission to erect a 'Windsave' wind turbine on our end gable But our neighbour claimed that we would only save 6p a day He also said that the turbine would create a lot of noise and keep him awake at night Can you advise please?
Jan Etchells
Installing a wind turbine is one of the few ways you can get renewable electricity for your home Windsave claim their turbine will deliver just over 1000 kWh a year – saving a quarter of the average electricity bill provided you can use the power when it's generated It would cut your CO2 emissions by about half a tonne a year but at current electricity prices it probably wouldn't pay for itself within the ten-year turbine life claimed by Windsave On the other hand, electricity prices may go up, and you might get the government's Low Carbon Buildings Programme to pay thirty per cent of the installation costs To be eligible you must first have a good level of insulation in your home, and have energy efficient light bulbs and good central heating controls
