In 2023, Infinite Renewables was approached by Octopus Energy Generation to supply and deliver a temporary installation of a 45kW Bestwatt wind turbine, also known as ‘Gusty Spinfield’, for Glastonbury Festival. At the end of the 2023 festival, Gusty Spinfield was taken down and was re-installed for another appearance at the festival in 2024.
The turbine tower is 20 metres tall with 8 metre long blades covered in the bold pink and purple colours of Octopus Energy. Food stalls on the festival grounds were powered by the turbine rather than the diesel generators that are usually used. Up to 300kWh per day was being produced and helped save 379kg of CO2 emissions.
Gusty Spinfield is part of the ‘try before you buy’ scheme set up by Octopus Energy. This scheme enables communities to try out a wind turbine in their neighbourhood. Infinite has relocated the turbine to a range of locations including Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall’s River Cottage in Devon, Alexandra Palace in London and Köpenicker Strasse in Berlin. Infinite is an authorised supplier of Bestwatt small scale turbines.
