For over 25 years, Britwind has delivered British-designed wind turbines that combine reliability, innovation, and performance, empowering homes and businesses worldwide to generate clean energy and achieve true energy independence.
Britwind is a UK leader in small-scale wind power, pioneering the design and manufacture of high-performance wind turbines for over 25 years.
Founded in 1999 (originally as Iskra, later Evance), the company developed the iconic Britwind R9000 (now H5), a turbine trusted worldwide for its efficiency, reliability, and long service life.
Today, Britwind turbines power homes, farms, and businesses across the globe, supporting the transition to clean, locally generated renewable energy.

Designed for Performance, Built for the Future
In 2014, Britwind was acquired by Ecotricity, recognising the growing demand for dependable, well-engineered small wind turbines.
Since then, the company has expanded its range with 11kW and 15kW turbines, designed to perform efficiently in both high and low wind environments.
All turbines are designed and built in the UK, then shipped worldwide, reinforcing Britain’s reputation for engineering excellence.

Supporting Energy Independence
Britwind specialises in distributed energy solutions, enabling customers to generate power exactly where it’s needed.
Systems can be grid-connected or off-grid, with optional battery storage to maximise energy use and reduce reliance on external suppliers.
Customers benefit from lower energy bills, reduced carbon footprints, and greater energy security.

Proven Reliability at Scale
Britwind turbines installed over 20 years ago are still operating today, a testament to their durability and build quality.
With more than 2,500 installations worldwide, Britwind has earned a reputation for safety, longevity, and industry-leading annual energy generation.
Its turbines consistently outperform others in their class, delivering unmatched output year after year.

Leadership Driving a Green Economy
Britwind is led by Dale Vince, founder of Ecotricity and a pioneer of Britain’s green energy movement.
His work spans energy, transport, and food—key sectors in tackling climate change—and includes initiatives such as Forest Green Rovers, FIFA’s greenest football club.
Britwind is part of the Green Britain Group, championing innovation and sustainable enterprise.
