November 2009 - It is the NFU's aspiration that every farmer and grower should have the opportunity to become a net exporter of low-carbon energy. Wind power is one of many land-based renewable energy resources available to agriculture, for self-supply and for export of energy services to others – alongside a wide range of bioenergy technologies (biogas, energy crops, etc.), solar power and heating, small hydropower, ground source heat, etc.
The NFU briefing document below provides an overview of wind power development in agriculture at a number of scales:
- large commercial wind farms
- single turbines or small 'windclusters'
- small wind energy systems
