UrbanWind wins hat-trick of orders

URBANWIND, the renewable energy company based in Lancashire, has win a hat-trick of orders for new turbines worth more than £1m.

UrbanWind, which acquired Leicestershire-based Myriad CEG’s North-West-based wind business in May, says energy independence is  becomes a priority for more organisations and landowners.

Based at Red Scar industrial estate, Preston, the company has secured deals with customers in Scotland, Cumbria and the Midlands.

It says there has been a significant surge of interest in its small and medium-sized turbines as energy costs and security continue to be a key issue for businesses.

Managing director Phil McVan said: “We are seeing a surge of customers and potential clients looking to become independent of the burden of ever-increasing power bills. It really has become a hot topic.

“In the past fortnight we have sealed deals to erect wind turbines in Cumbria, Scotland and the Midlands. Clients like the idea of taking control of their energy needs and of the possibility of extra revenue streams that renewable energy brings them.

“We are also in advanced talks with a number of major utility companies, who are looking at how to harness renewable energy, not only to cut their bills, but also to fulfil their carbon reduction and corporate social responsibility targets.”
