We work in partnership with landowners to deliver investable Community Scale projects designed to help meet rather than exceed local energy demand, whilst also making a positive difference to the quality of life and resilience of the communities in which they are based through both a community investment scheme and a meaningful annual donation to the local community (eg averaging £15,000 to £20,000 a year for the 25 year operation of a single 500kW turbine).
Our approach has significant benefits in terms of reducing up front "at risk " costs to a minimum in exchange for an equity stake in the project.
We are currently have 9 partnership projects, with our first consented project, a Community Scale wind turbine installed in September 2012,and located just a few minutes from our office in the Forest of Dean
We are also working on a number of field scale solar partnership projects which we will offer for community investment/crowd funding at the development stage. |
