For all of the companies who provide green energy and renewable energy at a consumer level, there must be companies who can provide the technology. FuturEnergy, manufacturers of wind turbines in the UK, have provided wind turbine manufacture for Greenpeace, and the famous Sealand Community, as well as Penwhilwr eco-home.

Recently developed, the mainstay of their production is the 1KW upwind turbine, which FuturEnergy describe as “Using our unique Permanent Magnet Generators, combined with our Hi-Spec Wind Turbine Blade Sets, these furling turbines create very useful power in low wind conditions, and over 1000W in winds of 12.5m/s.”

There is real scope for power here indeed, and FuturEnergy are the people behind the face of several famous eco-pioneers and companies, providing the technology that is then supplied for consumers at the final end of the supply chain.

Renewable Energy Growth – The Development of the Community

Just 10 years ago, renewable energy sources, from wind turbines to solar photovoltaic, was largely the arena of dedicated environmentalists; though companies like Good Energy, Green Energy and Ecotricity existed, general environmental awareness was lower, and prices were higher. Technological developments, though, have driven pricing down, and the general environmental movement has grown in stature; politicians across the world are keen to display their green credentials, and the day-to-day lives of a great number of people are now far greener friendly.

FuturEnergy argues that their business has reflected that change, stating that,

“Our development of the very latest in cost-effective products has been driven by the vast renewable resources available to everyone, and which remains untapped for most.  We seek to find the best sources of energy, and to build and promote products which can extract it efficiently, while making them available to all.”

Key in the development of business models like FuturEnergy’s then, is that with their success, the renewable energy sector grows. And with that growth comes cheaper, more easily accessible renewable energy, meaning that green, clean electricity can become a mainstream force, benefiting companies like FuturEnergy, the companies they supply, and most importantly, the end consumer.

FuturEnergy Now

That renewable energy is growing in popularity is widely agreed. It has been predicted that the cost of a renewable energy tariff will naturally match traditional energy tariffs in the next five years, and that after that, it will begin to beat them for price. For companies like FuturEnergy, then, the future is exciting and bright, as more companies will require their manufacturing capabilities, and as their desire for renewable energy to become the mainstay of UK energy consumption, is fulfilled.

For a company that, at conception, was looking forwards in the name ‘FuturEnergy’, the tangibility of the goal now is exciting indeed. As one of the UK’s leading wind turbine manufacturers, they are certainly set to be around for a long time yet.
