Alternative Energy Forums

I recently wrote an article on site selection for small to medium sized wind farms (link).

Most of the wind generation being done today is done by extremely large installations (multi-million dollar ventures). Next to that we have micro wind generating enthusiasts who are getting off the grid or looking to offset some of the current usage by installing a small wind tower.

I'd be interested in others knowledge on current operating small/medium sized wind farms (looking for information on farms that are sub 1 million entry capital). Where do these farms exist, who owns them etc?

There is a list of windfarms in the UK here www.yes2wind.com/locator although no way of filtering by size at the moment.

Because of the nature of these things, the database is mostly the bigger developers, but there is no lower limit to the size of windfarms/turbines that can be submitted for addition.

Hello there, I deal with these range of small wind farms, I specialize in Hybrid Renewable Energy Farms, using a unique combination of Concentrated Solar PV as well as small Wind farms, that can harness energy with a threshold wind velocity of 2.5 m/s. I am based in India. However, I could provide you with these solutions. please contact me on
