More power to Evoco Energy’s wind turbines
It is now eligible for Feed-in-Tariffs – a kind of subsidy – under the Government’s clean energy scheme.
The turbines are capable of producing an energy yield worth up to £14,000 per annum to landowners in rural areas, potentially delivering payback on the initial investment in less than four years, said the company.

He said the Feed-in-Tariffs scheme is making small wind power a more attractive and lucrative prospect for farmers and landowners.
The scheme provides for a tax-free payment for energy generated by small-scale renewable energy generators using MCS accredited equipment.
Tariffs are funded by a general increase in electricity price.
