Since starting a strong publicity drive, as part of Mendip Media’s ongoing PR work with Coemi Windturbines to highlight the real crisis in the renewables sector over product accreditation, the message is beginning to hit home with government departments.

After articles in the Guardian and Power & Energy Solutions Europe secured by Mendip Media press releases, and with the advent of a new government committed to developing the renewable sector, the issue of accreditation for all wind turbine suppliers is coming to a head.

“The huge costs involved to test just one wind turbine model are simply overwhelming to most suppliers in this fledgling industry,” says Coemi’s Managing Director, Paul Young. “Mendip Media grasped the complexity of the situation from the start, and has run with this to the extent that their publicity is really beginning to make a difference.”

Mendip Media Director, Nicky Robertson adds, “without accreditation, buyers of these expensive turbines cannot apply for the grants available to kick start micro generation in the UK. It’s a story of red tape and miscommunication which is causing turmoil the wind industry, and thanks to our work journalists are starting to sit up and take notice.
