Wind Energy

Turning wind into power: a simple guide to adopting Wind Energy.

Wind energy is one of the cleanest and most reliable sources of power these days. It is used without any fuel, it reduces carbon emissions and helps businesses cut costs in the long run. Modern turbines with taller towers and longer blades generate more power that helps to make the wind energy cheaper and more practical than ever. It also protects your business from rising fossil fuel prices while also boosting your sustainability image.

At Utility Network, independence defines our approach — giving us the freedom to focus exclusively on what is right for our clients.

Onshore or off-shore, which one is better?

Onshore wind projects are faster to build, they cost less and connect easily to local grids, however on the other hand offshore wind farms will produce more power, thanks to the stronger winds but they require bigger budgets and complex marine construction.

What decides the cost of wind energy

Wind energy costs depend on many small but truly important factors:

1. Turbine design

2. Infrastructure

3. Electrical system items

4. Grid connection

5. Operations

6. Finance

However picking the perfect location is the actual key to success. A good site has steady wind, minimal environmental impact and an easy access to the power grid.

You also need to check the wind strength and patterns, local planning rules and community feedback, wildlife studies and environmental safety, great capacity and the new trends in wind technology. 

Wind energy keeps improving every year. Some of the latest advances include taller hybrid towers, larger and quieter blades that produce more power and smart monitoring system. 

Common misconceptions

People often think that wind turbines and noisy. A change has been made- modern turbines are designed to meet strict noise rules. They also think wind is unreliable but combining sites, using storage and accurate forecasting make it steady.

A successful wind project keeps the performance very high and also costs low over the years. It also supports local jobs, bills community trusts and provides you clean power for tickets.
