I bought a few of these as looks a good long term proposition. Also bought some WIND at the same time.

Looking at the Risk Factors detailed in the prospectus, one in particular is a concern:

wind turbines may have shorter life-spans than their expected
life-span of 25 years. In the event that the wind turbines do not
operate for the period of time assumed by the Company in its
business model or require additional maintenance
expenditure to do so, it could have a material adverse
effect on the business, financial position, results of operations
and business prospects of the Group [p 16]

Last December, a study cast doubt on the 25 years figure:

The analysis of almost 3,000 onshore wind turbines - the biggest study of its kind -warns that they will continue to generate electricity effectively for just 12 to 15 years.

The wind energy industry and the Government base all their calculations on turbines enjoying a lifespan of 20 to 25 years.

The study estimates that routine wear and tear will more than double the cost of electricity being produced by wind farms in the next decade.



The industry is disputing the findings, but it would, wouldn't it?

NAV on admission is about 98p. I'm inclined to wait for a decent discount to that.

Just check my account at H-L. Applied for 8,000 shares got 7020 which means I was scaled back by 12.25%

It will go into my ISA next month with new money, but I hope the share price hangs a bit before then, as I've no intention of chasing it!

Thanks - H-L is one of the brokers I use (occasionally) but I rarely read the splurge of stuff they keep sending out so may have missed the opportunity.

Mind you, £50 is a bit steep!

I can see these moving to a premium thanks to the 6% initial yield and index-linking.

Dave - if you don't mind the enquiry ... how did you have the opportunity?

Yaba Daba Do.......great news. My wife and I both piled in big time in our ISAs and then went for as much again in certificated form. After scaling back we should end up with our planned holding, which, unless something goes wrong we will probably never sell.
