Wind power

Using the power of the wind to generate your own electricity.

Wind power has been harnessed for over 2000 years and is something that will never run out. It produces electricity without any harmful emissions to the environment.

Why wind power?

Ireland is windy so why not use it to your advantage by harnessing the power of the wind. It is a free, clean and renewable source of power and will help you reduce your electricity costs.

How does it work?

Wind turbines have aerodynamic blades, which face into the wind. The wind turns the blades, which turns a generator. This generator then produces electricity. Turbines come in many sizes to suit your energy needs.
