On the 20 February 2007 the Skeffling Parish Council installed a 6KW Proven Turbine on a 15 meter self supporting tilt-up mast. We use it to generate clean power for the Village Hall and to promote appropriate microgeneration. Any unconsumed power is exported to the National Grid and Imported back when needed, the revenue from any surplus power is set aside to pay for the maintenance, repairs and eventual replacement of the turbine and it's associated equipment. Hopefully making the whole thing self financing and therefore self perpetuating.

Our decision to use renewable energy in this way was made with 'Agenda 21' of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit in mind, which has Sustainable Development at its heart.
