    Its hard to make a call with this level of information, but in theory yes. But in theory yes to pretty much any investment of a reasonable payback/risk profile

    Well if your farm is in the midlands and your in line for one (or more) of the turbines for this proposed new wind farm, at 18, 000 or so per turbine pen annum I would say hell yes.

    how much is the investment? how much are the annual payments (dividends) to you? Are there any legal /maintenance/ongoing costs involved? whats the exit strategy? How long will the investment last?


    they would be the questions I'd ask myself first before getting any further involved.

    Great idea. Irelands windy and people need energy and wind turbines fulfill that requirement. Sounds brillant.
