Making wind power work for you... With over 30 years experience in the energy and construction industries, we have been selected by world class manufacturers to offer ‘best-in-class’ wind turbines to the UK market.
Why wind power? The UK has over 40% of Europe’s wind! At EverGen we help you catch the wind to your considerable advantage. Wind turbines offer very high returns and quick pay back on capital invested. All of the energy produced is eligible for a generous Feed In Tariff payment, whether it is used on site or exported to the national grid. You will also benefit from a source of free electricity on site, freeing both yourself and your business from the headache of rising bills, whilst reducing your carbon footprint and promoting your commitment to renewable energy. See example paybacks opposite or contact one of our team for your personal payback prediction. It perhaps comes as no surprise to learn that for the last seven years, wind power has been the world’s fastest-growing source of renewable energy.
