The Evance R9000 Advanced Wind Turbine is the result of 10 years of dedicated research and development, and is based on the experience of designing utility scale turbines. Specifically designed to work with the wind to capture more energy at lower wind speeds, the R9000 is the most efficient 5kW turbine available, producing more energy a year than other 5kW, 6kW and even 10kW turbines. Combining patented state of the art technology and elegant design, the R9000 belongs to the ‘next generation’ of small wind turbines, offering class leading quality, performance and reliability.

The R9000 is manufactured in the UK at new purpose-built facilities near Loughborough. Using automotive experience, each one is assembled under strict quality control. Every R9000 undergoes final testing to ensure that it complies with Evance exacting standards.

Eco Evolution appointed official Evance resellers/installers for Leinster area. ReGen(NI) have licenced Eco Evolution as resellers of Evance wind turbines.
Evance is the commercial brand name of Iskra wind turbines. Eco Evolution covers the counties of Wexford, Kilkenny, Carlow, Wicklow, Laois, Kildare, Offaly & Dublin.

In November 2009 an Evance R9000 Windturbine was installed in Emyvale, Co. Monaghan under the SEAI(Sustainable Energy Association of Ireland)  Micro-Generation pilot scheme. This turbine was installed on a 12 meter tower and is a grid connect system. Joe was delighted with the install and  the performance of the turbine.

Eco Evolution were invited to the climate change conference by the Wexford County Development Board. 

The speakers on the day were from the EPA, Wexford County Council, NUI Maynooth, Teagasc and Courtown Waterworld.

Wexford County Development Board, (CDB), wanted to highlight and discuss the implications of climate change. The CDB launched its strategy “Action for change 2009-2012″ last year. Action 7 calls for a  local multi-agency response to climate change. The aim of the conference was to raise local awareness and consider how Wexford can adapt to the likely impacts.

In time, the impacts of climate change will be more apparent in Wexford. There continues to be debate but predicted effects include:

• More intense storm and rainfall events
• Water shortages in the Summer and the need to irrigate crops
• Effects on fish species that are sensitive to small temperature changes
• Accelerated coastal errosion

The purpose of this conference was to localise the issue, to highlight the effects of climate change for our economy and public services and our citizens and their environment. The conference illustrated the impact of climate change at County level and also the possible adjustments that may be needed to manage longer term change.
