The South West Region of EnglandThe South West region covers the area from Cornwall up to Gloucestershire and across to Wiltshire. The South West, through a regional agency, RegenSW, provides very active support for renewable energy projects, including small wind. The South West is also one of the windiest regions of England and is therefore has many excellent locations for small wind turbines. This page contains information that you may find useful when considering a small wind project in the South West and we would welcome your comments and suggestions on how to improve it. Wind ResourceThe map below will give you an indication of where the strongest wind areas are in the South West. The areas shaded in red, green and yellow are considered excellent for wind projects, but much of the rest of the South West provides adequate wind resource for a small wind installation to be viable.
