Visit to Britwind, Q-Park, Bath Road, Stroud, GL5 5HT. Specialists in small scale wind power.

Generate your own energy right where you need it with our small scale wind turbines and battery storage systems and reduce your carbon footprint, cut your energy bills and achieve greater energy independence.

Designed and built in the UK, our first turbines were installed over 20 years ago and are still going strong. With over 2,500 installations across the globe, Britwind has earned a reputation for safety, reliability and longevity. Our turbines’ performance is unmatched, generating more energy per annum than any other small wind turbines in their class.

Britwind has been at the forefront of small wind turbine design for over 20 years. 
Founded in 1999 as Iskra and later, Evance, the company designed and built the Britwind R9000 (now H5) wind turbine. Today, this market leading wind turbine is powering homes, farms and businesses around the globe and has an outstanding reputation for efficiency, performance and reliability.

In 2014 the company was bought by Ecotricity, who recognised the market need for a well-designed and reliable small wind turbine. The team have since gone on to develop an 11kW and 15kW turbine to meet the higher energy demands of farms and businesses, designed to be efficient in both higher and lower wind speed areas. 

The turbines are designed and built at our factory in the UK and shipped to customers around the globe, while our team of engineers continue to work on innovative solutions for the ever-changing needs of the world as we move towards decarbonisation and an increased demand for energy.

Note that bookings for this event will not be taken until August.
