Is there any way of knowing if other energy suppliers will be joining the Ripple turbine setup? I've been with Good Energy for years and really like them and it would seem I'd have to change to Octopus if I want to buy a part of the Ripple turbines.

The list of partner suppliers is growing, best to contact Ripple direct and keep an eye on the investment window date of closure at the same time.

At the moment the investment window will close at midnight on the 3rd May 22.

My last 7 days yield from WT1 has carbon offset my visit to it yesterday. :geek:

Not sure how much I need to offset for the two steak meals though. :ugeek:
18.7kW PV > 109MWh generated
Ripple 6.6kW Wind + 4.5kW PV > 26MWh generated
5 Other RE Coop's
105kWh EV storage
60kWh Home battery storage
40kWh Thermal storage
GSHP + A2A HP's
Rain water use > 510 m3

The steaks looked great! Quite a thought the 500hr service. So used to PV engage the breaker and forget, exciting! :)
