Energy. Keep Independence

A 9 kW turbine in a good wind location such as coastal Brittany, Normandy, or the Belgian plains produces roughly 6,000 to 18,000 kWh per year, depending on average wind speed at the site. A 20 kW turbine in comparable conditions can produce 18,000 to 43,000 kWh annually. For reference, the average French household consumes around 4,500 kWh per year, while a small farm or SME typically uses 30,000 to 80,000 kWh. We provide a free generation estimate based on your specific location before any commitment.

The total installed cost of a small domestic wind turbine in France depends on turbine size, mast height, ground conditions, and grid connection works. A 9 kW VAWT turbine typically starts from €12,000 plus the tower and installation cost. Available subsidies, including the Enedis autoconsommation premium and regional schemes, can reduce the net cost significantly. We provide a full cost and payback projection as part of our free quote, specific to your location and consumption profile.

Yes, and this is one of the strongest use cases for small wind. Solar and wind are naturally complementary: solar peaks in summer daylight hours, while wind is strongest in autumn and winter, and generates power at night. Installing both with a shared battery storage system means your property produces clean energy across all seasons and times of day, dramatically reducing what you need to draw from the grid.

Yes. Agricultural sites are among the best candidates for small wind turbines: typically located in open, well-exposed land, with high and continuous electricity consumption (heating, cooling, irrigation, machinery), and away from urban planning restrictions that can complicate residential installations. A 20 kW turbine on a farm in Hauts-de-France, Normandy, or Wallonia can offset a substantial share of annual electricity costs. Belgian farms benefit additionally from regional energy grants that can significantly shorten the payback period.

In France, planning requirements depend on the turbine's mast height. Turbines under 12 metres typically require only a déclaration préalable de travaux, a simplified declaration, not a full building permit. Above that threshold, a permis de construire is generally required. Local rules can vary, particularly in protected landscape zones.
