Are wind turbines an option again

[frederick]

Sorry spend most of my time in the dairy thread.

Question is are onshore wind turbines an option again.

We have the site and may also have the three phase soon and 24p per unit males other options interesting

Tempted to spend a few £k on an 'off grid' setup.

Is getting planning in England possible? I thought there was a ministerial statement after the 2015 election that effectively gave local communities (read nimbys) the power of veto.

There was something in the back of my mind that made me think it had changed hence the question.

Is this going to be a game changer , will there be turbines everywhere ( more than already is )
or will the grid connection be the hurdle

[Doing it for the kids]

Grid will be a huge issue for bigger units

Time will tell but I wouldn’t be surprised if little changes

large turbines are far from cheap to install run or insure. I think the majority of the payment on ours comes from the FIT. I suspect if you had to borrow to buy it you’d be better putting it into longer terms stocks and shares.
