Our generators
A Vestas 75kW wind turbine was the first to be installed by Bro Dyfi Community Renewables on the hill above the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) near Machynlleth, Wales. It was bought second hand in 2003 and originally supplied CAT with power, any surplus being exported to the local grid. For full details please click here.
A second-hand Nordtank NTK500/37 (500kW) turbine was the second acquisition, bought using European funding secured through Mid-Wales Energy Agency, local regeneration body ecodyfi, and shareholder investments. It was installed on Mynydd Glandulas in 2008. For full details please click here.
