520 _aExamines the growing market for installing wind turbines on company or organisational sites both to reduce energy costs and their environmental footprints. Companies are unlikely to be able to decouple any site from the National Grid but on-site power generation means that they can partly decouple from the volatile electricity market. Looks at the prerequisites for wind turbine installation such as site suitability, choice of generating capacity and outlines the costs and benefits of wind energy production. Considers partnership options such as Ecotricity's Merchant Wind Power for organisations unwilling to allocate full funding to non core activities. A variant of this consists of private power generation for a group of client companies from off-site turbines financed by Co-operative Financial Services. Describes the work of Proven Energy, a leading turbine installer and concludes with "Following wind", in which Ross Fairley discusses wind power schemes from a legal perspective.
