Hallmark Tractors, a distributer for Evance Wind Turbines, supplied and installed the two Evance 5kW wind turbines on 18m towers. The power generated by the turbines will be used to contribute towards the power consumed by the farms grain dryer and the engineering business located on the farm. Any electricity not used will be fed into the national grid. The turbines are expected to generate enough energy to meet over fifty per cent of the farm’s requirements, so will dramatically reduce the electricity bill and enable Feed-in Tariff (FiT) income. “The fact that the R9000...
