Been there.
True only if they and the workforce are prepared to stop work on days when there is no wind and also on days when excessive wind means the turbines have to be shut down to prevent over speeding.With the turbines on site there electricity bill would be wiped out, and this could easily amount to hundreds of thousands of pounds per month.
Interesting.If they placed their turbines out of town, they would still generate power, they would recieve their monies per kwh generated, and would sell the electricity to the grid. They would still have a huge electricity bill to pay for their manufacturing site though.

I hadn't realised that electricity couldn't be transported from out of town to a site within it.

Bernard - Large companies do have to foot some staggering energy bills, and as they compete in an unstable market place, reducing overheads is always something that is going to be looked at. The wind may not blow all the time, and sometimes may blow too hard, but surely any reduction in the energy bill is a good thing? No one is saying they want to wipe it out completely, but reducing it is only going to benefit them.
