Welcome
Welcome to the society's website. Here you will find information about the Society and its projects.
The Society was established in 2011 by members of Sustainable South Brent to take forward a medium size wind turbine project for the benefit of the community. The Vestas V27 wind turbine, rated at 225kW, was installed in August 2013 and began generating electricity in September 2013.
V27 on 1 June.
The Society also owns the 9.88kWp PV array on the South Brent Recreation Association's pavilion building, which was installed in June 2014 and has generated 54,377kWh to end of March 2020.

News
The wind turbine has been shut down from 21st May on the advice of NatGen, our new maintainers, pending further repairs needed this summer. This is to reduce the risk of further damage occuring.
Our AGM has been postponed to September, in the hope that the lockdown will have been eased by then.
