Wind Turbine
A 5kW wind turbine has been installed at the Horticulture Development Centre at
Greenmount. The electricity generated will be directed towards meeting the requirements
of two 300m2 polytunnels, for the provision of fans to circulate air and also for the
supplementary lights during the winter months in the cultivation of extended season lilies.
The anticipated payback for this technology is eight years. The output and effi ciency of
electricity generation will be closely monitored.
Further plans are in place to install a wind turbine at Loughry Campus to help meet the
electrical requirements of the Food Technology Centre, where there is a steady demand
required to run the refrigeration units. The size of this turbine will be in the 20-50kW range
