Project Information

The main goal of the WICO project is to work with our European partners in Spain and Italy to share knowledge and experience for the deployment of small wind energy systems along coastlines.

Coastal areas offer a wide range of opportunities to produce wind, current and tidal derived renewable energy. The WICO project partners have identified small wind systems as a technology suitable for integration along the coast to exploit the presence of onshore and offshore winds.

The WICO project will produce guidelines which will be functional and designed to facilitate the development of policies to enable faster and wider deployment of small-scale renewable energy systems.

Engagement with policy makers and organizations with planning responsibilities is therefore important to the project.

The project aims to develop a transferable tool to allow both the sharing of technical information on new generation™ systems and the knowledge required to overcome barriers to the wider use of this technology including policies, economic viability, financial incentives, awareness etc.
