ECO-FRIENDLY POWER SOLUTION FOR WINDY GOLF COURSE

Proven Energy turbine supplies 70% of the golf courses energy needs.

The Challenge

Fyvie golf course in Scotland had no source of electricity when it was purchased by the Rankin family in 2000. Power was required to run the golf workshop and additionally, the family home. Safety was also a concern as the wind turbine would be in close proximity to the public. The Rankin’s recognised that a safe, yet reliable energy producing device was needed.

The Solution

Installing a Proven 11 wind turbine and harnessing the strong winds on the exposed golf course was the best solution. Located between the 7th hole and 8th tee the turbine meets seventy percent of the family's electricity needs. Proven Energy having the most reliable and robust wind turbines on the market ensured there would be no safety fears for the public using the course.

The Benefit

The installation of the Proven 11 has provided the Rankins with green, reliable, cost effective power. Other worldwide installations in public areas make the Proven Energy turbines a safe option for the golf course. Using the open space of the golf course the roaring winds will ensure the wind turbine is working to maximum capacity.
