Frequently Asked Questions |
No, the blades rotate at a relatively slow speed. Blades aerodynamics and no gearbox all contribute to ensure the turbines are quiet in operation.
| Do turbines interfere with telecoms radio or tv equipment? |
No.
| Will I have to change any of the wiring in my house? |
No, a turbine can easily be installed at any existing home without the need to change any
wiring or appliances. In most cases, the ESB will install a smart meter to replace old meter to measure import and export electricity.
| Do I need planning permission? |
No if:
A: The total height of the turbine does not exceed 13 metres
B: The rotor diameter shall not exceed 6 metres.
C: The minimum clearance between the lower tip of rotor and ground level shall not be less
than 3 metres.
D: The supporting tower shall be a distance of not less than the total structure (including the
blade of the turbine at the highest point of its arc) plus 1 metre from any party boundary.
E: Noise levels must not exceed 43db during normal operation or in excess of 5db above
background noise, whichever is greater. As measured from the nearest neighbouring
inhabited dwelling.
F: No more than one turbine shall be erected within the cartilage of a house.
