Wind Turbine

Harness renewable energy from your site

Wind energy can provide businesses with another source of renewable electricity, helping to reduce reliance on grid power and support longer term energy and carbon reduction goals.

Taurus Renewable Energy helps businesses explore the potential of wind generation as part of a wider energy strategy. We consider the suitability of the site, available wind resource, energy requirements and the wider project requirements before a solution is taken forward.

Is Wind Energy Right for Your Business?

The potential of a wind turbine depends heavily on the conditions of the individual site. Factors such as wind resource, location, available space, access and surrounding conditions all need to be considered.

Our approach starts by understanding your site and energy requirements so that the potential of wind generation can be properly assessed.

Key Considerations

Wind Resource

The available wind resource is one of the most important factors when assessing the potential energy output of a turbine

Site Suitability

 Location, available space, access and the surrounding environment all need to be considered when planning a wind energy project.

Planning & Environmental Considerations

Wind projects require careful consideration of planning, environmental and site requirements before development.

Energy Requirements

Understanding how your business uses electricity helps determine how wind generation could fit into your wider energy strategy.

Wind Energy for Commercial Sites

Wind generation can be considered for suitable commercial, industrial, agricultural and other sites where the conditions are appropriate.

Depending on the project, wind generation can form part of a wider energy system alongside:

  • Commercial Solar PV
  • Battery Energy Storage
  • EV Charging
  • Energy Efficiency
  • Energy Procurement

Combining renewable generation with energy storage and effective energy management can help businesses make better use of the energy they generate.

From Assessment to Project Planning

A wind turbine project requires careful planning before installation and connection. Taurus Renewable Energy can help businesses understand the key requirements of a potential wind project, including

01

Initial Site Considerations

We begin by reviewing the proposed site to understand its suitability for a wind turbine project and identify any key considerations or limitations.

02

Wind Resource Assessment

The available wind resource is assessed to help determine the potential for energy generation and the suitability of the site.

03

Energy Requirements

We consider the organisation’s current and future energy needs to understand how a wind project could support its electricity requirements.

04

Site and Access Considerations

The site layout, access routes, available space and practical requirements for construction, delivery and installation are reviewed.

05

Planning Requirements

Relevant planning considerations are identified to help establish what permissions, assessments or approvals may be required for the proposed project.

07

Grid Connection Considerations

We review the potential grid connection requirements and considerations associated with connecting the wind turbine to the electricity network.

08

Project Requirements and Next Steps

The key findings are brought together to establish the project requirements, identify any specialist works needed and outline the appropriate next steps towards development and installation.

A Wider Renewable Energy Strategy

 

Wind does not have to be considered as a standalone solution.

For businesses looking to increase renewable generation, wind can sit alongside solar PV and battery storage as part of a broader energy strategy. The right combination depends on the individual site’s energy profile, available resources and requirements.

Taurus Renewable Energy takes a site and energy led approach, helping businesses understand which renewable solutions are appropriate before moving forward.
