EML has started work on an 18MW wind farm located in Central Scotland. The project intendes to see 6no E-82 3MW Enercon turbines installed at the end of the planning process at some point it 2014. The project, EML's largest to date, is one of a number of schemes EML is now embarking on in the secod quarter of 2010. Watch this space for an announcement of a dedicated website for this scheme and others.

The first quarter of 2010 is going to be a busy one for us as we're going to be installing 2 50kW turbines and a 100kW turbine for our own clients as well as our sister company Energy Merchants. All the sites are in Scotland in the SW, however there are a few more creeping through planning that may also fit into the Q1 slot! If you want any further information on these sites or would like to keep updated please contact us and we'll be happy to keep you posted!

On the 11th May our base at the Hillington Innovation centre was badly damaged by flooding when a boiler failure resulted in several hundred thousand litres of water pouring down through two floors. Unfortunately our offices were badly affected and we have had to vacate the premises until the centre can be made safe, dried out and our equipment replaced.

This naturally has had a negative affect on our business and would recommend that due to our phone systems being located within the Innovation Centre, all enquiries be directed through email. As a temporary measure the phones are being re-directed to individuals mobiles on a rolling basis. Calls will be answered where possible, however you are encouraged to leave a voicemail or send an email at your earliest convenience.

We are working with the Innovation Centre to get back into the facility and get back up to speed however this is not expected to be anytime before the 6th July 2009. Temporary accomodation is being sought int he interim period.

The flooding comes just a week after we moved into the centre.

Updates will be posted as and when available.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

On the 4th of May, Energy Mechanics (EML) relocated to new offices in Hillington to support continued growth and create further space to expand their employee base. The Hillington Park Innovation Centre (HPIC) will be the new operational base for sales and consultancy with engineering services soon to be based out of an additional new local depot.

The award-winning HPIC - recognised as one of the world’s top three fastest-growing business incubators - will provide incubation, business advice and support for EML in moving forward. “We’re pleased to welcome Energy Mechanics - the renewable energy sector is an increasingly important area of business for us, and in will be working closely with Energy Mechanics to help the grow their business and realise their full commercial potential” Said Ross Clarke, Centre Manager.

EML has seen phenomenal growth over the last year and already has plenty of scope to further this by at least 50% in the upcoming year. “Growth management is crucial in order to navigate through the current financial climate and to get the best for the business. We are at a key stage in our growth and with proper support from the ground up we will be able to strengthen our presence and ensure our longevity” Said Alan Powell, EML.

Dozens of Scottish companies have already benefited from the innovation centre’s ground-breaking business support techniques, based in a top-class facility near Glasgow Airport. A recent evaluation of Hillington Park Innovation Centre’s first five years of operation found that the centre has incubated 107 technology-based companies employing more than 1,000 people, contributing £5m to the Scottish economy. “We look forward to working very closely with the Innovation centre in developing our future. This has been a natural progression for us and the centre is in harmony with our own objectives” said Susan McInally, EML.
