Clipper Windpower misses production targets

The Aim-listed company, which sells turbines to the US market but is considering investing in offshore UK wind, said it would produce just 125 turbines in 2007, a figure at the lower end of expectations. It said it would only recognise revenue from eight machines. An extra 35 turbines due this year will not be commissioned until 2008 due to work needed on blades. The company plans to spend $15m (£7.6m) reinforcing all blades on existing machines.
