Wind Power — harnessing renewable energy for a sustainable future.

JLM offers flexible financing options to purchase infrastructure, fund installation and integrate HV & LV distribution into your business cost-effectively.

How will my business benefit from Wind Power generation?

With rising electricity prices and a growing focus on sustainability, generating your own renewable energy through wind power can offer significant benefits for your business:

Reduce your energy costs by generating your own electricity

Sell surplus power back to the grid for additional revenue

Decrease your carbon footprint and enhance your green credentials

Protect your business from future energy price fluctuations

Potentially benefit from government incentives and support schemes

Is my business suitable for Wind Power generation?

Wind power is particularly well-suited for businesses with high and consistent electricity consumption throughout the year such as warehouse distribution centres, data centres, or heavy industry. You’ll need sufficient land or roof space for turbine installation and ideally be situated in an area with higher wind speeds — open, exposed, or elevated locations.

Why work with JLM?

With extensive experience in designing, installing, and maintaining wind power systems for businesses of various sizes and sectors, JLM is your trusted partner for harnessing renewable energy. Our team of qualified engineers will work closely with you to develop a tailored wind power solution that meets your business requirements, energy consumption patterns, and site-specific conditions.

Flexible Financing

JLM can assist in choosing the right approach to financing wind power installation — either through capital expenditure or via a range of asset finance products.

Option 1

CapEx

Depending on the available incentives at the time of purchase, capital expenditure may be the most economical approach for your wind power installation, allowing you to depreciate the assets over time to further reduce overall expenditure.

Option 2

Asset Finance

JLM can also advise you on appropriate finance products that allow you to spread the cost of wind power installation over time, improve cash flow and tax efficiency, and offer the option to own the assets at the end of the term.

Available structures include:

Hire Purchase

A deposit and regular payments with ownership at the end of the term.

Operating Lease

Regular payments, with the system returned after the term.

Finance Lease

Payments with the option to purchase the system for a nominal fee at the end of the term.

FAQ’s

How do I determine if my business location has sufficient wind speeds?

Wind speed is a crucial factor in determining the viability of wind power for your business. As a general guideline, an average wind speed of at least 5m/s is required for a wind turbine to work efficiently. As part of the initial consultation process, JLM can help you assess the wind speeds at your location and the most suitable locations for turbine installation.

Can I sell surplus electricity generated by my wind turbine?

Yes, businesses can often sell excess electricity generated by their wind turbines back to the grid through programs like the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) in the UK. This provides an additional revenue stream for your business, particularly during periods of low energy consumption or high wind speeds.

What are the maintenance and running costs associated with wind turbines?

Wind turbines generally have a lifespan of 20-25 years, with some parts requiring replacement during this time. JLM offers regular maintenance checks as part of our support service — helping to prolong the working lifespan of your solution, as well as carrying out inverter replacement or battery storage replacement if needed.

Do I need planning permission to install a wind turbine at my business premises?

Planning permission requirements for wind turbines vary depending on the region and the size of the system. In some cases, small-scale turbines may be considered permitted developments, while larger systems typically require planning permission. JLM can guide you through the relevant planning regulations and assist with the application process.
