A series of roadshows has been announced for farmers keen to learn more about safe renewable energy options in the wake of the collapse of Proven Energy.
Myriad CEG Power, the UK’s leading provider of onsite green renewable energy systems, has reacted to tackle the difficulties and confusion created.
Proven collapsed last month when a technical fault in the main shaft of its flagship model forced a halt to sales and a shutdown of machines already installed on farms.
It was subsequently taken over by Kingspan Renewables – although the new owners have announced all Proven’s guarantees should be directed to KPMG, the collapsed firm's receivers.
A second turbine installation company, Icon Energy, has also gone into voluntary liquidation as a direct result of Proven Energy appointing a receiver and ceasing to trade.
Farmers who already have Proven wind turbines on their land and want advice on what to do next – as well as those considering a move into renewable energy generation, are invited to attend Myriad CEG Power’s open days.
The first three are:
• Wind Turbine Seminar and Open Day: Thursday October 27, Wilsey Down freehouse, Hallworthy, Camelford, Cornwall.
• Solar PV System Open Day, Thursday November 3, Holmes Farm, Brant Broughton, Lincolnshire.
• Wind Power Open Day, Tuesday November 8, Riplingham Road, Raywell, Cottingham, East Riding of Yorks.
Phil McVan, managing director of Myriad CEG Power, said: “The second quarter of 2011 saw green energy contribute about 9.6 percent of the UK’s total electricity supply.
“However, there is understandably a lot of uncertainly and confusion around following Proven Energy’s collapse, so this is an opportunity for farmers to learn more about their options and other forms of renewable energy.”
Myriad works closely with Gaia Wind, which was the only profitable wind turbine manufacturer in 2010 and has a 14-year trouble-free track record.
