Our Mission
By developing small-scale wind energy projects which feed the energy they generate into surrounding homes and businesses via the local distribution network. Typically, energy is generated in large-scale power stations, from non-renewable resources and is transmitted around the country via the national grid. We actively reduce this demand.
Wind is the UK’s most abundant renewable energy resource. Harnessing that resource is essential if we are to have a secure, clean and balanced energy supply. On a local scale wind energy is also valuable, whether you’re a farmer looking to generate additional revenue from your land, a business keen to reduce energy costs, or a community that wants to generate its own clean electricity.
We generate renewable energy through the ownership and operation of distributed wind turbines. We are always interested in expanding our portfolio of turbines by acquiring operational sites. We also support the turbine maintenance companies by providing specialised parts, including the vitally important turbine blades, made by our partner in China.
The UK Government’s Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) published proposals in August for dramatic reductions in financial support for renewable energy technologies, to take effect 1 January 2016. We are now midway through a consultation period and pressure is mounting from various directions as bodies outside the renewables sector start to realise what this would mean – effectively a dismantling of the recently created renewable energy development market in the run-up to December’s Climate Change Conference in Paris.
– the CBI, who traditionally take a more temperate tone than Mr Gore’s, saying “The green economy is an emerging market in its own right, brimming with opportunity. Yet, with the roll-back of renewables policies and the mixed messages on energy efficiency, the government risks sending a worrying signal to businesses.”
We are left wondering whether Amber Rudd and her colleagues at DECC will change direction now as the pressure grows or whether there might perhaps be an eleventh-hour realisation, on the eve of Paris, that we are sending exactly the wrong signals to global partners and investors on green energy. This may have with worked Scottish Independence, where voters could be swayed at the last minute, but would be too late for a renewable energy industry which has already realised that it is heading for a big contraction under the current proposals.
Making wind work for you
We generate renewable energy for use locally and for export into the grid. And we can help you do the same.
Fine Energy Operations Limited is a UK company registered in England no 8235679 trading as Fine Energy. We generate renewable energy through the ownership and operation of distributed wind turbines. We are always interested in expanding our portfolio of turbines by acquiring operational sites.
