Perhaps a lesson of what happens when VCs get involved who really don't understand the business. I feel extremely sorry for Gordon Proven, who created a good business and helped to place small domestic sized wind generation on the map.
A collapse like this is bad for the industry and particularly their customers and dealers. One of the reasons I purchased a Bergey rather than a Proven was the consistent stories of poor service - even when seeking to purchase, they failed to answer my emails efficiently. The troubles seem to have stemmed from the time they received a very large input of VC capital to pump them up. Hopefully, people who now really understand the business will purchase the business from the Administrator and a Phoenix will arise from the ashes. Peter |

The P35s have now had their MCS certification suspended. Not that anyone is about to buy one. -- ted |

-- VickiB 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 and Icon Energy. Myriad CEG Power, the UK’s leading provider of onsite green renewable energy systems, has acted to tackle the difficulties and confusion created. 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 the 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. 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. For further information on attending any of the events, please contact Myriad CEG on 0203 167 0980.
