Proven by name, proven by nature

Renewable energy is big business and a growing number of turbine manufacturers are entering the global market for alternative power generation. Established wind turbine manufacturers are constantly seeking ways to differentiate themselves in the marketplace.

Proven Energy’s turbines are down-wind models, which means that they work with nature and not against it, as upwind turbines do. The main benefit is that Proven turbines can be used in even the most severe winds, without danger of damaging the unit.

By turning to Protomold to supply the only plastic moulded component used on its range of small scale, down-wind turbines, Proven is simultaneously improving build-quality whilst saving both assembly time and also labour costs.

Based at Stewarton in Ayrshire, Proven Energy was established 27 years ago and has installed over 1000 small-scale wind turbines worldwide since the business began producing turbines, in 1991.

The company’s range consists of three models: the 2.5kW unit, which is often used for powering a typical three-bedroom house in the UK; the 6kW turbine, which gives about three times more yield than a 2.5kW model and therefore is better suited to a larger house or to someone who wants to generate an excess of electricity for exporting to the national grid; and the Proven 15kW, the most recent addition to the range for light industrial, light commercial and agricultural use.
