Kedco Wind Energy Technology
Kedco is delighted to introduce our vertical and horizontal axis wind turbines. The windmills are noise free; the only sound comes from the sweeping of the arms with the horizontal axis wind turbine, which is less with the vertical axis wind turbine.

Generally, the turbine is positioned approx 20 – 60 metres from the house. Noise has never been an issue and complies fully with planning guidelines.

Some facts for you
Do you know that each year, for every megawatt of Irish wind energy that displaces fossil fuel power production there are huge environmental, economic and social benefits including:

Removes the need to import 6,450 barrels of oil
The avoidance of 2700 tonnes of CO2 (carbon dioxide)
The avoidance of 49 tonnes of SO2 (sulphur dioxide)
The avoidance if 5.5 tonnes of NOx (nitrogen dioxide)
The avoidance of 175 tonnes of slag and ash landfill
And clean electricity to meet the electricity needs of 650 homes
Now lets look at the Financial benefits:
Generally, payback on your wind turbine investment depends on the following:

Your total ESB bill
What size windmill you would like to consider
The efficiency of the location for wind generation.
Example Payback period
A detached house would generally look at between a 3-6Kw wind turbine to meet their demands. The payback for this would be approx 8 -12 years with the windmill lifetime estimated around 25 years.

Therefore, you would have very low if not free energy costs for at least 10 plus years after installation costs are saved

Contact Kedco today and organise for one of our expert installers to call to you to discuss the various options available to you.

Incentives for Micro Generation announced by Energy Minister Eamon Ryan

The Government have today announced that Farmers and households will be able to sell excess electricity back to the national grid.

Energy Minister Eamon Ryan stated that the first 4,000 installations around the country will get a guaranteed 19cent a KWh. Minister Ryan went on to say “We are changing the rules and changing the nature of electricity generation in Ireland.

Before you received your power from a central source and paid for it. Now you can generate for yourself and be paid for the excess you don’t use.

This type of on-site electricity generation will boost the rural economy. It will put more money into consumers’ pockets. This type of long-term investment with a guaranteed return represents the best value for spending and lending.

All our farms and houses can be micro-generators. We can use our abundant natural resources to bolster the economy, create green-collar jobs and reduce carbon emissions at the same time.

Every year, we send €6 billion out of this country on fossil fuels. This type of generation will help reduce this dependence and this outflow of money. We do not want to be dependent on Russia or Saudi Arabia for our energy needs; we can supply our own.”
