Scotland Scotland, through a number of regional agencies, provides very active support for renewable energy projects, including small wind. Scotland also has more excellent locations for small wind turbines than any other part of the UK. Segen is a full member of Scottish Renewables and is fully accredited under the Scottish Community and Households Initiative for grants.
Segen technologies of solar PV, micro wind and micro hydro are all supported by the scheme and are fully accredited for grants in Scotland. For further information contact http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/schri/household/grant.cfm More funding will be available for community projects, householders and businesses in Scotland as the Scottish Government triples its funding, setting aside £13.5 million in each of the next three years for green energy projects. The money will be allocated to the three groups as follows: More grants for non profit sector: Increased grants for householders: £3.5m for householders, with grants available up to £4,000 for each claim, and separate grants available for two different technologies per household
Loans for Businesses: The Scottish Government is also expected to reform the planning system to make it easier for people to install microgeneration equipment on their homes. Please view our Small Wind page to see what products and services we can offer in Scotland, including the Iskra AT5-1 5kW, Skystream 1.9kW, Kestrel 1kW and Westwind 20kW. If you are new to small wind turbines, please start by reading our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) pages, as those form a complete guide to wind resource and wind turbine siting. To find out what the average wind speed is for your own location, please use our free wind speed checker to look up the wind speed for your postcode. For further information on installing a small wind turbine in Scotland see the Scottish Renewables and the Scottish Community and Households Initiative web sites and read the Scottish Executive's Planning Guidance for renewable energy. Segen also provides a range of roof and ground mounted Solar PV Systems, which may be attractive if you do not have sufficient wind or space to make a small wind turbine viable and Micro-hydro Systems for the conversion of mills and other applications. |
