The average energy use in covered flower farming is between 306 and 334 kWh per square metre per year - and most of that demand comes in the winter. Traditionally, that power comes from fossil fuels. But today, more and more flower farmers are switching to sustainable, on-site generation.
Wind energy is a strong fit. It runs day and night, all year round, and matches your high-consumption months, helping you take control of your energy costs and reduce your dependency on suppliers.
Curious how much energy your location could generate?
Your greenhouse doesn’t sleep. Whether you’re running fans, heating, misting or lights, you need power around the clock. Wind keeps delivering when solar takes a break without adding strain to the grid.

Winter is when energy use spikes and when solar power dips. Wind fills that gap with consistent output. Our WES models produce up to 150,000 kWh/year, keeping your business running smoothly across all seasons.
We get that question a lot. Solar power peaks in summer, but your energy needs don’t. Wind power complements solar perfectly, especially in autumn and winter. We often see the best results with a mix: two-thirds wind, one-third sun.
