To the ends of the map

Two new orders came in on the same morning. One is going to the Finnish Lakeland. The other is going about as far from London as you can go.

An Atlas, with its blade set, is heading to Manawatū in New Zealand. A Magnum is heading to the lakes of eastern Finland. Different turbines, different climates, the same idea: making your own power where the grid is far away, thin or expensive.

18,733 km

That is the straight-line distance from London to Manawatū. London's exact opposite point on the globe lies in the ocean just south-east of New Zealand, so this Atlas is going very nearly to the other side of the world.

Manawatū is one of New Zealand's windiest regions, with wind farms on the ranges above the plains. Out there, a turbine makes power right where it is used, with no long cable run to pay for.

1,992 km

North-east of London, the Magnum is going into the Finnish Lakeland: a maze of lakes, forest and long winters. When the days are short, solar panels do little. That is when wind does the work.

Why remote matters

• The grid thins out. Far from town, power lines are long, costly and the first thing a storm takes down.
• The wind does not. Open farmland, coasts and lakes are often the windiest places of all.
• It travels well. Every TESUP turbine is packed to go as ordinary freight, from a lake in Finland to the North Island of New Zealand.

Every order is a pin on our map. Thank you to both of our new owners. We will be glad to see your turbines spinning.
