Due to exceptionally high demand since our announcement last week, our first wind farm is now fully sold out!
Stay tuned for updates on Graig Fatha’s construction and head to our website to join the waiting list and be first to know when our next wind farm goes live!
I'm a Jonah!
Great to read that they've done it, may there be many more to come. I've signed up for a heads up on WT2 once its announced.
18.2kW PV SE, VI, HM, EN & DW
Ripple 7kW WT & Gen to date 15MWh
42kWh LFPO4 storage
95kWh Heater storage
12kWh 210ltr HWT.
73kWh HI5
Deep insulation, air leak ct'd home
Zoned GCH & Hive 2
WBSx2
Low energy bulbs
Veg patches & fruit trees
what if a bunch of people raised enough money to own a turbine outright, would that be possible, and say plug it in to an existing farm/grid connection?? Or a big PV array for that matter?
For anyone passing by not in but interested or maybe thinking of WT2...
Your Graig Fatha Wind Farm is now fully sold out!
Due to an overwhelming response to our announcement that your Graig Fatha wind farm was close to reaching capacity, we can now confirm that all remaining shares have been sold.
Thanks to you and your fellow members increasing their capacity, sharing their friends and family links and spreading the word, all ownership shares have now sold. This means that Graig Fatha has fully sold out and will no longer be open to new members for for purchases of additional shares.
This marks an incredible milestone for you and for Ripple on our shared journey to make real renewable energy ownership a reality.
What's next for Graig Fatha?
David Evans will now contribute the remaining capital
As communicated in our last update, existing Co-pilot Project co-operative member, David Evans, has agreed to contribute the remaining capital required for Graig Fatha. As a result, the co-operative will not need to utilise the Welsh Development Bank loan previously communicated.
Graig Fatha construction is accelerating!
The team have set up their welfare facilities and are building the track up the hill. Lots of historical mining activity in the area and a newly formed industrial estate have meant a number of pipes and cables have needed investigating, all of which have been dealt with capably by the build team. Check out the updates on our news section of your dashboard.
The turbine foundation is due to be formed in late August and the turbine is on track to be delivered in November. We'll be sure to bring you another video update from sites as activity ramps up.
Add your member dashboard to your home screen
We've made it even easier to keep up to date on the build progress from your dashboard. You can now add your dashboard to your mobile phone home screen. Simply log on to your dashboard and follow the instructions.
Make sure your details are up to date to avoid missing out
Following many requests from you our members, we've prepared some members badges and stickers that you can proudly display in your homes, and electric vehicle if you have one, letting everyone know that you are proud wind farm owners! Please ensure your address is correct on your members dashboard. All the details of how to contact us to change this are located on your dashboard
The countdown to our next wind farm is officially on!
We are now just weeks away from our announcement on our second wind farm. It will be possible for you to be a member of more than one wind farm should you wish to increase your wind farm ownership shares. As Graig Fatha members, you'll be the first to find hear how you can reserve your place at the front of the queue. We are expecting a huge wave of demand once we open up the waiting list so keep your eyes peeled for more details coming soon!
All the best,

You are on my list if,
You have publicly stated it on the old forum AND your nickname is the same on here or I know of the nickname change.
Or if I have been informed personally, like by private message.
Or you have publicly stated it on this forum.
There is only one person from my old list from the old forum who I cannot identify, either they are here under an alias or they are not here so I have to assume they are not here.
Are you fessing up to being a member ?, you have stated you have bought other similar green investments.
