[edit] History of the company
Renewable Energy Systems started life in 1982 as part of the Sir Robert McAlpine group of engineering and construction companies. Its early years were spent in researching various designs for commercial wind turbines,including work on a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) model as well as the now more widely-used Horizontal Axis (HAWT) units.
The company built its first commercial wind farm at Carland Cross in Cornwall in 1992, using 15 Vestas turbines, each of 400kw capacity. In December 1998 the company installed the first commercial 1MW wind turbine to be designed and built in the UK, at Slievenahanaghan, Co Antrim.
In 2001 the company built the then largest wind farm in the world at King Mountain in Texas, using 214 Bonus turbines of 1.3 MW capacity. More recently the company has been active in the developing offshore UK wind power market. The first project given consent is at Inner Dowsing, near Skegness off the east coast of England, where RES are working with the project owner, Centrica, on the development and construction. In 2005, RES won a Queen's Award for Enterprise in the Sustainable Development category. To date, RES Group has developed and/or constructed more than 60 wind farms with more than 2500MW of capacity and has planned projects on its books totalling several thousand megawatts worldwide, at various stages of development.
Since the end of 2003 RES has been based at its award-winning, low carbon headquarters building at Beaufort Court, Kings Langley, Hertfordshire in the UK. This unique site, centred on the old 'Arts and Crafts' style Ovaltine Egg Farm building originally constructed in 1929, uses electricity supplied from its own 225KW wind turbine and from on-site photovoltaic panels. Heat comes from 170 m2 of solar thermal panels and from a biomass boiler with a miscanthus energy crop, whilst cooling is produced on demand using pumped ground water. Full information on the amount of energy being produced by these on-site systems is available at the Beaufort Courtwebsite.
The RES Group has offices across the UK, the rest of Europe, North America and Australasia. Within the Group, RES Heat and Power is actively working with partner companies to provide a range of renewable energy solutions for on-site heat and power generation (including solar, biomass and ground source heat pumps), whilst Inbuilt provides a consultancy service for sustainable design in the built environment.
