Since its inception in June 2007, Wind NI has grown into one of the largest wind power development companies in Northern Ireland with a current active portfolio of over 80 individual projects, in various stages of development and operation with more under consideration. We specialise in the medium wind industry (150kW to 250kW) and have recently achieved our 60th Planning Approved project, a target which has been reached far ahead of schedule. Our sixteenth turbine was installed in September 2014. The roll out of our entire portfolio of single turbine projects will continue at pace over the next three years. In terms of the Wind NI business model, there is a clear benefit to Landowners who want to get involved in establishing a wind turbine project on their land, which is an expensive and highly complicated process. We do all the work in relation to this, from planning to grid connection and then installation, and bear all the risk associated with the project. Once operational, our landowners receive a quarterly payment in return for the rental of the very small area of land on which the turbine is located. It’s a great way for the landowner to diversify and enhance their revenue from their land. There are obvious economic benefits and, ultimately, such projects have positive impacts for the environment, through the creation of renewable energy.
