I received the post below on my Ripple account yesterday so thought to pass it on in case others may also be interested.

As my signature states I have a interest in Ripple as I believe in all thay are seeking to achieve and it would appear they are fundraising once more to expand the business further. Considering how they managed to navigate around all the hurdles that covid placed in front of them when launching their first wind farm then I have great confidence in their abilities. Just a personal opinion you understand.

Having invested the max allowed, 120% of consumption, in their first two wind farms this latest fundraise does at least offer me the opportunity of investing further while understanding that to date no returns in the form of dividends are offered above holding a very small share in the business itself. Consequently I've registered for priority access in readiness!

We're crowd funding soon

As a Ripple member, we want you to be the first to know our latest company crowdfunding campaign is coming soon to Seedrs! You can get priority access to the campaign today.

Just like our wind farms, we as a business are crowdfunded too. Over 2500 people own shares in Ripple the company. Together, alongside members like you, we've been able to accelerate our growth and bring renewable energy ownership to more people than ever before.

Please don't confuse this with share offers for our ownership projects. The two are very different. This is a crowdfunding raise for Ripple Energy Ltd to help fund future business growth. It has no links to existing or future ownership of Ripple wind farms/solar park projects. If you are interested in powering your home/business with a piece of our next ownership project, news on our third project will be available soon.

You can find out more and gain priority access to the crowdfunding campaign by clicking on the link Here

Time to buy?

Greencoat UK Wind (WIND) and Gresham House Storage (GRID) investment trusts are looking cheap (historically) at the moment. WIND are currently trading at a discount of 10% to NAV and GRID have just dropped below par compared to premiums of around 15 and 25% earlier in the year. 

As I am a contrarian and buy into falling markets I’ve bought both today but do your own research.

Presumably as interest rates rise, the dividend paid by the likes of UK Wind appears less attractive.

I'm guessing the issue is with government saying they will cap renewable producers' revenues. So the upside of these investments is now limited.  So if this is true and markets are efficient then these shares are not under-priced currently.

As a shareholder in both named companies, and a Ripple member, that article is quite reassuring!
