topvest - not yet, I think it's a bit early for the "final" version.
Also, for myself I don't think I'll be able to apply within my ISA so will need to wait until dealings start.

This is the place to make a marker:

Jonwig - thanks, interesting - do you have a link to the prospectus?

IPO worth considering:



Bluefield Solar, £150m, expected yield 7 - 9% once fully invested. Dealings next month.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What happened to post #50?

Nice positive article. Thanks for posting.

Yeah, it seems well backed. The projections re power output nationwide up to 2020 look good and this can only go one way on the back of that. One to pick up and put away for a good few years I think.

[jonwig] 29/5/2013 09:12

Yes, long-term, I think though not without risks (load factors may be optimistic, useful life may be overstated).

But the govt (of any colour) is committed and SSE, for one, is a heavy investor with two wind announcements this month, and from their FY results:

• "... output of electricity from wind up 34%"

• "... owning and operating electricity generation capacity in Great Britain and in Ireland, and generating electricity from a wide range of sources such as gas, coal, onshore wind, offshore wind, water, biomass ..."

Looks an interesting prospect. Are may view in this as a longer term hold? Great yield too...

That's right, bang on the allowance! Never noticed, Dave.

Yep. Looks like he put the full new year ISA in.

Director Timothy Ingram has market-purchased 10,706 shares at 106.98p.

A modestly positive acclaim!

adv - that's good news! In any large organisation you'll get some who care, others who couldn't care less.

If you ever contact a call centre and don't find it helpful, try ringing again at a different time. The difference can be surprising.

Thanks for advice jonwig.
Surprisingly it is getting sorted.
Peter McHale at Greencoat has been a great help and got a nice chap from Capita to ring me and explain what had happened, and Capita also replied to my e.mail with assistance.
This all helped put pressure on Halifax Share Dealing who found the certificates they were sent (at the third attempt). The shares were sent out as though they belonged to HSD, with no info as who they should be assigned to. Seems HSD were happy just to keep them.
Just a case of getting to talk to someone who cares.
Thanks to everyone. adv

adv11 - right, so Capita sent a certificate to ...X ...

You should write to both Capita and whom you suspect 'X' to be (Halifax, I presume) asking for confirmation of posting and dates, and (Halifax) whether received.

Keep the letters brief, formal and to the point.

As I said, I've found Capita to be unhelpful up to the stage of being 'encouraged'. I can't comment on Halifax.

At some stage you'll get a resolution so don't worry.

[adv11] 11/4/2013 14:01

Thanks for the help guys. My cheque was sent to Capita, and I enclosed the Crest numbers for my Halifax SD account. Greencoat-UK wind tell me that Capita sent notices of shares to the various stockbrokers without mentioning who the shares were actually for. Oh dear !

[jonwig] 11/4/2013 08:59

adv11 - according to the prospectus, certificates should have been sent out on 5 April.

Who did you post your cheque to? If to Halifax then they are responsible and you should initiate their complaints procedure.
Otherwise, whoever cashed your cheque is responsible.

In the event that Capita posted a certificate to you, which has got lost, you can obtain a new one, for a fee.

Capita can be very obtuse, but you can demand to know whether they posted a cheque to you.

EDIT: do it by formal letter; on the phone they'll stall.

[adv11] 11/4/2013 08:50

Has everyone now received their shares, whether in certified or in their accounts ? Although my cheque was cashed a month ago, I have heard absolutely nothing. The shares should have been placed into my Halifax Share dealing account.
Halifax tell me they aren't interested - I can only deal through them by buying through them or transfering a certificate in.
Capita apparently have fulfilled all their obligations and won't talk to me.
The only help I have had is from Greencoat, but still nothing.
Looks like a case for the Mail on Sunday since they brought UK Wind to my attention.
