Wind power entails transforming energy generated
by the wind into power that can be used for domestic and commercial purposes;
conversion takes place via wind towers (windmills) and turbines. Sustainable
carries a range of wind power generators for domestic and commercial use.
Wind power can be generated on a large or small scale depending on local requirements. It is possible to set up domestic wind power systems to generate just enough power for your home, or slightly larger systems that can be used to power a neighbourhood. The advantage of shared domestic wind power systems is that construction costs are distributed across a number of households, making it a viable and affordable alternative to conventional electricity grids.
Wind farms, which are designed to provide power on a large scale, are more common in Europe and the US than South Africa, but SA has a few wind power projects in the Western Cape, where the availability if wind is never an issue. These are primarily used to supplement local electricity needs because, currently, wind power doesn’t generate enough power to meet the needs of an entire community.
