THE COMMUNITY ON THE ISLE OF MUCK NOW HAS ELECTRICITY FOR 24 HOURS A DAY
Evance R9000 small wind turbines, along with solar, will transform islanders’ lives
“Last year the Japanese Government stated that it wanted to increase its renewable energy usage, and reduce nuclear power and fossil fuel use. To support this they introduced a Feed-in Tariff – the highest in the world today
The community on the Isle of Muck, the smallest of the Small Isles off the West Coast of Scotland, has been relying on diesel generators for 40 years as there is no mains electricity. Now with a new renewable energy solution the Islanders lives will be transformed.
March 2013 saw the installation of a renewable energy solution incorporating six of the Evance R9000 small wind turbines and 30kW of solar.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO THE COMMUNITY? Firstly they now have electricity 24 hours a day. For the last 40 years electricity has been rationed as the generators were on for just 10 hours a day.
reliable and efficient small turbine which will enable many farmers, home owners and businesses to take up renewable energy. We have already seen a high level of interest, and I’m sure - now the turbine has received certification - that this interest will increase.”
the turbine was certified by ClassNK as it complied with all the provisions in the JSWTA0001 standard (published by the Japanese Small Wind Turbines Association).

Now there are no restrictive time slots for using a washing machine and watching television is not limited!
SECURITY OF SUPPLY
Also, the islanders have security of supply. While many places across the UK have lost their electricity supply recently – impacting over a quarter of a million people - the community on Muck has all the electricity it needs.
“This is a particularly exciting project as it is great example of how harnessing natural resources can make a dramatic difference to a community,” commented John balson of Evance Wind turbines.
“This successful project proves the complete working model of a system for secure and sustainable power supply which could support other communities suffering with fuel poverty due to the ever rising cost of conventional power.”
