The 6ft (2m) vertical wind turbine is being trialled on Skegness Pier in a UK first.
A Lincolnshire seaside pier is being lit up at night with the help of a new mini wind turbine.
Cllr Steve Kirk from East Lindsey District Council said the three-month trial could eventually benefit "the entire community"."This brings down the cost of your electricity. So not only is it really good for the environment, it helps those businesses which are really struggling with rising energy costs at the moment."One of the project partners DSR Group said the two Lincolnshire turbines were the first to be installed outside of Norway.
The firm's founder Ravi Rayarel said the turbine's design allows them to operate "regardless which direction the wind's blowing".
