Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs

Dr. Paul Deane:

It is feasible. In my area, I can think offhand of five or six farm families who have those small wind turbines. They tend to be farm locations. Again, that is more a reflection on the space that is needed for these turbines rather than the energy consumption. Wide open space is needed. That comes back to the fact that they tend to rotate at a much higher wind speed and a much higher rotational speed, so they tend to be a little bit louder than the larger wind turbines we see around the country.
