We often see changes in approach whenever a new government takes over. But our approach to climate change, the commitments we've made and the promises we are fulfilling, shouldnt be something we're afraid of. alpha-311.com/~alphacom/blog…

A little something we put together to help people understand how the U.K. energy market works & how it’s priced. Local renewable energy generation should mean cheaper prices for consumers because it’s cheaper to deliver to us.

It’s got to have been over 3 years since we were last on the #BBunker Radio Show. Looking forward to updating @vanillaweb & @Diamond1Julie with what we’ve been up to. Tune in at 1pm on Tuesday 14th Jan bizradio.co.uk 👍

We have had some pretty major milestones over the past few years. From appearing on @BBCWorld News with our first carbon fibre turbine to installing on @TheO2 Arena for prototype testing… and now this! alpha-311.com/blog/open-pre-…

Replying to @redbull @JaanRoose
Noooo! Jaan Roose was only 80m from the end when he slipped but rules state his distance is only validated on a completed run. Hoping he has another crack at it. Still a record holder in our books. 👏👏 bbc.co.uk/news/videos/cd16g3…

We've come so far in such a short space of time. Thank you @CNN for the global coverage 🙏 Great way to end the year.
3 years ago @bbcsoutheast aired a segment on @311Alpha's first carbon fibre prototype turbine, catapulting us into the public eye. @CNN published the article below today What a way to end the year. Happy holidays. cnn.com/world/small-turbine-…

Good point! Our turbines tick all those boxes.
If only there was a way that we could harness our natural resources and use the infrastructure that is already there… oh and is exempt planning permission @311Alpha 🤔🤔🤔

Now there’s a thought… solar and wind… together… on the same roof space! 🤔 😉 @VeoliaUK #renewables

We know there is an issue with ever-aging grid infrastructure but this article almost smacks of ‘don’t buy an EV because you can’t charge it outside of the home’ Which is (frankly) bollox Thoughts @bobbyllew @FullyChargedDan telegraph.co.uk/business/202…

Did you know that the Alpha 311 #VAWT is smaller, lighter and easier to install than traditional turbines? Join us on stand B11 at the @ukclimatetech show on 26-27 September to see the turbine and let us explain how it helps meet the growing demand for localised #energy.

Q. How is the Alpha 311 turbine different? A. It captures airflow from passing traffic, not just wind. Want to know more? Visit us at the @ukclimatetech Show on 26-27 September on stand B11. #CTS23 #innovation #windenergy

Not long to go until the @ukclimatetech show on 26-27 September. Our turbine can retrofit to lighting columns, buildings, bridges, mobile masts & solar farms. Designed, developed & built in the UK, our #turbine can help lift people out of #fuelpoverty. Visit us on stand B11.
