Environmental balance

A single 1.5-MW class wind turbine can provide electricity for more than 4,800 people. Over twenty years, that is the equivalent of around 84,000 metric tonnes of brown coal or approximately 36,000 kg of atomic waste.

Compared to nuclear power stations, our wind turbines prevent the creation of around 2,000 kg of atomic waste each year!

Compared to coal-fired power stations, just the NATENCO wind turbines that have already been installed to date save around:

480.000 t carbon dioxide
286.000 kg sulphur dioxide
318.000 kg nitrous oxides
15.500 kg dust
