The Ancient Inn Continues Its 500+ year Journey

With Green Energy

The Inn 'being off-Grid' was in its ancient past candle lit with open fires. It has relied in modern times entirely on Deisel Generators.

The family owned Kirkstone Pass Inn now has a new lease of life for many years to come.

The Wind Turbine and Battery system is being designed and built by MMCESL a Cumbria Based engineering company with expertise in both grid connected and off grid wind energy solutions.

The turbines are manufactured by Evance Wind, each of the three being installed having a generation capacity of 5kW.The off grid supply is backed up by a 2500 AHr battery and will provide the Inn with a continuous 15kW of electrical power

    The grateful Inn team wish to extend our sincere thanks, on behalf of all our visitors and customers, to all that supported our Planning Application. Not least the senior officers and Planning committee members at the Lake District Natrional Park Authority, Local Parish Councils and the Friends of the Lake District, who's profesional approach to the needs of this business has (given rip-off Deisel prices) brought the inn back from the brink that would have eventually seen this iconic place closed and lost for ever. A shocking Prospect if you will forgive the pun!

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Work to install our new system is now complete despite unfriendly weather conditions MMC battled the elements providing an environmental friendly power source.
The Kirkstone Pass Inn for the first time in it’s 500+ year history has Power Without Polution
