Guidance Notes and Best Practice Guides
MO: A new online service highlighting the potential for small-scale wind power generation at specific locations has been launched by the Met Office. The innovative web tool has been developed by applying science from the Met Office and follows a study commissioned by the Carbon Trust.
By simply entering a postcode, users can choose the relevant type of building and local environment to understand the total power yield of installing a small wind turbine. The effectiveness of wind generation has been calculated by using historical Met Office climate data, local land use and large scale orography of the land.
