February 2007 The Turbine has been installed at last! We are now waiting for some wind so the fitters can test and commission the Turbine and to make sure it is working correctly and the readings are right. They will then connect us to the meters hopefully soon!  

 

The Turbine is there at last! Not sure whether it is staying grey or being painted yet.

February 16th, Friday. The Turbine was commissioned today at last and we are now producing our own electricity. Now all we need is plenty of wind to keep it turning. We will be watching the meters to see how much we are saving and will report back.

May 2007:We are still waiting for the people who installed the Turbine to investigate why it is not producing enough power when turning . Hopefully they will come up with some answers soon.

Sept 07. Yes we are still waiting for some results on the turbine . They are supposed to be putting on different blades and monitoring it, still waiting!!!

March 08. Over the winter the new blades were installed and it seems to have made a bit of an improvement. They are now monitoring it to see how much electric it produces to which way the wind is blowing. (I think!) Will let you know any outcomes.

June 08. The monitoring has finished and has concluded that a better output could be obtained if it was positioned in a better place and we are now looking into the possibilities.
