Abundance Energy has suspended investments in community wind project Resilient Energy Great Dunkilns (REGD) in the Forest of Dean just days after officially launching it to small investors because of financial problems that have come to light concerning the German turbine manufacturer supplying the project.
Precautionary measureAbundance Energy said no customers money had “in any way been put at risk” and it had taken the decision to suspend the offer – in the form of a debenture – as a precautionary measure after PowerWind, the German manufacturer contracted to build the turbine, informed Abundance and REGD last week that the company had started proceedings in the insolvency court of Hamburg.
“We immediately decided that the best course of action would be to suspend the debenture and return all money allocated on the website to the customer holding accounts where it can be withdrawn immediately if the customer so wishes,” Abundance Energy director Bruce Davis told GreenWise.

Debt solution company, ClearDebt, believes todays government personal insolvency figures reflect a worsening in peoples ability to repay debt.
Commenting, ClearDebt CEO, David Mond, said:
The 6% increase in bankruptcies and debt relief orders between the end of 2011 and the beginning of 2012 indicates, we believe, a worsening in the circumstances of many indebted individuals and that some are giving up all hope of repaying their debts and electing to become insolvent instead. This is backed up by our experience, where ClearDebt has seen a small increase in the numbers of people in debt management plans where we have actually recommended bankruptcy instead, but our clients resist such advice.
Whilst, year on year, personal insolvencies are down, I dont believe that fee-charging debt resolution companies, like ClearDebt, are seeing a fall in demand for our services.
