The new CEO at troubled wind turbine OEM Senvion admitted it had made “operational mistakes” as he outlined an “urgent transformation programme”, delayed publication of the group's 2018 financial results and said it's in talks with its lenders.

In a rare public statement, Senvion’s majority owner, the US investor Centerbridge, came out to give its backing to newly-installed CEO Yves Rannou, as he sketched out the programme just days after the Germany-based turbine group downgraded its financial guidance for 2018.
