Spanish medium wind turbine manufacturer Norvento has completed four UK projects in the last three months, with the fourth set to go live in early November.
The company said it has a further nine developments in the pipeline.
Norvento said the intensive period of construction has added to its growing UK fleet of nED100 100kW turbines, as the company looks to overcome financial and planning challenges in the UK market.
The UK onshore wind sector face several challenges with the expiration of the feed-in tariff (FiT) pre-accreditation process at the beginning of this month, in conjunction with a further tariff degression, the company said.
The company added that while increasingly stringent planning rules and ongoing issues relating to grid connection have in some cases hampered small and medium wind development, its low-noise, compact, direct-drive nED100 turbine means that its visual, noise and grid impacts are amongst the smallest in the industry.
The nED100 is the only 100kW turbine on the market to have achieved IEC 61400-1 design certification, it added.
