You can't use the Octopus tool yet if you're on a smart tariff, don't pay by monthly direct debit or have switched tariffs recently.

Re: PV investment & other RE investments

Thanks Adokforme. Looking at Energise South, it does appear very similar. I can't see any financial details on their website but I'm guessing, like the Schools’ Energy Co-operative, members receive 4-5% interest annually and 5% capital is repaid every 12 months over 20 years. The Schools’ Energy Co-...

Re: PV investment & other RE investments

I received an email from Energy4All today with details of the new Schools’ Energy Co-operative share offer: https://schools-energy-coop.co.uk/share-offer/ Anybody here already a member of this existing co-op? Looks quite interesting from a very quick scan of the document: https://schools-energy-coop...

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?

So by my calculations the final split is: individual investors/businesses 40% co-investor 30% finance 30% If you allocate the 30% finance pro-rata you end up with the figures given: individual investors/businesses 57.6% co-investor 42.4% I'm still none the wiser as to how member returns aren't affec...

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?

There's a limited amount of individual investors with thousands of pounds to spare for a wind farm investment and if you put a cap on those who do have funds and want to invest more than the cap, then it's limited even further. If Ripple are going to be reliant on co-investors, finance or other form...

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?

The last figure I saw was sub 60% invested in WT2 which, after taking into account the co-investor, would mean that Ripple's share would be less than 30% compared with the 70% that the were originally seeking. This does not bode well for WT3 with the existing business model. Agreed. I asked for an ...

Just in case you missed or misread earlier posts, midnight on 3rd May is the current date for the end of the share offer.
