An AirTurb Model One, a compact vertical wind turbine, has been demoed in St Peter Port.
A local renewable energy company wants Guernsey households to harness the power of the wind, to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
Little Green says the island's annual average wind speed is 11.3 knots - 2.6 knots faster than in the UK.
The company showcased an AirTurb Model One in Market Square this afternoon (19 February).
It is 1.8 metres tall and is capable of producing up to 500 watts in Guernsey winds.
Operations Director Jamie Clark says the compact turbine generates power quietly.
“Given Guernsey’s favourable conditions for tapping into wind energy, and the accelerated growth of the wind industry, we’re confident that this is the direction the island is heading in.
We’d encourage homeowners and businesses to harness this clean, cost-effective power source, reducing carbon emissions and helping achieve the island’s net-zero 2050 target."
Little Green reports global wind energy installations surged by 50% in 2023 compared to the year before, with 54 countries building new wind power infrastructure
