Ltd. "Tycoon", wind power in Belarus, wind generators, solar power.

A private company from a regional center agreed to refute the conventional wisdom that get energy from alternative sources in Belarus unprofitable. Near the industrial base of entrepreneurs has been successfully operating wind turbine to 11.5 kilowatts, and the plans by the end of the year to build a mini-fleet of three wind turbines.

— Once we have the first installation, we began to enjoy the wind— it brings us a profit — says founder of LLC“Tycoon” Dmitry Shevchuk. — We bought it as an experiment on their own experience that it's available wind speed is sufficient for commercial use. We have issued the necessary documentation and March are planning to sell its energy to the central grid.

The opportunity to earn renewable energy production came after the state established a higher tariff for purchase“green” kW. Now the electricity produced by converting solar energy, wind, hydro and other renewable sources, you can sell concern“Belenergo” with a factor of 1.3. This is a strong incentive for the development of alternative energy, experts say. Buy installation only for its own production is impractical because the necessary moment of wind can not be. It may appear at night, when the company is not working. In total, the same electrical energy demand around the clock. It turns out that more profitable to sell“green” power more expensive, but for the money to buy electricity for its own production.

— Of course, a small wind turbine capacity of 11.5 kilowatts of serious profits will not bring, — argues Dmitry Shevchuk — But the aggregate of 400 kilowatts per month would generate electricity for 10-12 thousand dollars. Power generated by our fleet exceeds 1 MW.

Part of the equipment the company has already purchased and started to mount. The wind farm will be located near the ring road of Mogilev. In addition, the already selected area equipment was purchased and produced in Germany for solar power. From idea to mount the panel on the roof decided to give up awkward to serve in the winter when it snows. For the year solar capacity of 10 kilowatts will be able to produce and deliver to the grid of about 10,000 kilowatts of clean, bringing profits to owners.

In the creation of such enterprises and the state is interested, because by using alternative energy sources can not only improve the environmental situation, but also reduce the import of hydrocarbons. By 2015, to 28 percent of the energy in the country should be produced at the expense of local and renewable sources. Therefore, the leadership of Mogilev Region has supported the initiative of private enterprise to create a mini-wind farm - without delay, to provide land, freed from VAT and customs duties on imported equipment. However, the firm appeared and commitments: time to put the object in the system and deliver the energy they generated in the grid. If the project proves economically successful businessmen intend to continue to participate in the development of alternative energy in the Mogilev region.
