Wind energy is supported under the government's Feed-in Tariff scheme, and some sites have looked at installing a wind energy technology to diversify income.
However, it's important to consider issues such as planning and the assessment of wind resources when planning an installation.

The Feed-in Tariff (FiT) is a government subsidy paid for renewable electricity generation and is a fixed payment per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity generated. The rate paid varies by technology and also by size of project, with small- to medium-scale installations receiving higher rates.
