Innovation and Production for Public Benefit:
The Community Interest Company
Through Yansa CIC (Community Interest Company), the group will develop technological expertise, undertake research and development on renewable energy, and manufacture and sell renewable energy equipment. We expect to start manufacturing Yansa wind turbines in 2014. Once wind turbine production is running smoothly and our technological and productive investments in this field are on firm ground, we will move on to other renewable energy technologies.
Developing our own technology will make the Yansa Group independent from the relatively few corporations that are at the forefront of R&D and production in renewable energy. It will enable us to adapt the technology to specific wind conditions, and to maximize the degree to which communities get acquainted with the technology, with the objective that they are part of shaping its future evolution.
The Community Interest Company (Yansa CIC) was registered on May 1st 2008 in the UK, the only country where this particular legal form exists.
