Jonathan Reynolds – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Energy and Climate Change

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Jonathan Reynolds on 2014-04-30.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, how many manufacturers of sub-15KW wind turbines are based in the UK; and what the value of exports from this sector was in 2013.

Michael Fallon

The Department does not hold this information.

The renewables industry, including the small and medium wind manufacturers, is an important source of jobs and investment in the UK. In 2013, Renewable UK, the trade association for the onshore wind sector, reported that the UK is home to over ten small and medium wind manufacturers and that nearly 3800 sub-15kw turbines were exported [1].
