SHI has not denied that the review will be held, despite several requests from Recharge for a statement from its representatives in the UK, where its 7MW offshore turbine prototype is sited.

Industry sources with knowledge of the situation told Recharge on Friday that the review would take place, with no date set for its completion.

Officials in Scotland, where the 7MW prototype is sited at the Energy Park Fife, Methil, were also unable to say that it is business as usual for SHI there.
