Infinite Renewables was delighted to welcome visitors to Little Callestock Farm, near Truro, for a wind turbine repowering open day focused on helping farmers and landowners get more from their existing renewable energy assets.
Hosted by dairy farmers Liz and Nick, the open day gave attendees the opportunity to see a recently repowered turbine in action and learn more about the benefits of upgrading existing wind turbines.
Liz and Nick originally installed a 55kW Endurance wind turbine in 2012 to support their farm and holiday cottages However, after facing ongoing reliability issues and rising maintenance costs, they chose to repower their wind turbine with a BestWatt 80kW turbine, installed on their existing tower in January 2026.
The new turbine was installed in just one day and has since generated more than 30,000 kWh with no issues. For Liz and Nick, the upgrade has provided improved reliability, stronger performance and peace of mind through the 20-year service agreement.
Throughout the day, guests had the chance to hear from Liz and Nick about their experience, speak with the Infinite Renewables team, and meet Rengineers,
the manufacturers of BestWatt turbines, to learn more about their turbine range and long-term service support. They were also treated to a Cornish Pasty,
some Cakes, and drinks on us, provided by The Cornish Barista!
The open day demonstrated the significant opportunities available through turbine repowering, particularly to farms and rural businesses with ageing or non-operational wind turbines. By upgrading existing infrastructure, landowners can improve performance, reduce energy costs and make better use of renewable energy already in place.
A massive thank you to Liz and Nick for kindly hosting the event, to Rengineers for their support, and to everyone who joined us at Little Callestock Farm.
