Ripple Energy wind farm?

I thought when I bought my share it said they did have an agreement with E.on in place. I shall have to have another look at the pixelwork.

I must admit the idea of a big investor coming in is making me really reluctant to invest

Now that the first turbine is generating, I think they should be really pushing just how much money the members are actually saving every day. A live total on the home page would be a great start, especially as the current earnings are higher than expected.

Yes, they need to exploit the newsworthiness. Only a small window, though, before it becomes stale.

Perhaps another spot on Fully Charged? People about to invest in an EV would be prime candidates and would probably have the dosh.

If it happens it would appear to be the same co-investor who has the 30% share.

Thanks. I must have missed the "anticipated".

Perhaps E.on is contingent on them selling enough shares first? Bit of the old chicken and egg.

WT1 at Graig Fatha - 2.5GW - sold out to roughly 900 members.

Kirk Hill is 18.8GW. Less 30% leaves 13.2GW, 5.5x as big as WT1, so (all else being equal) they'd need 5k members.

That isn't a huge number but (using the same approximation) currently they've only got 1500-ish.

Where to find 4000 people with £2k in their pockets in a fortnight?

In theory, I'm the ideal candidate: I have the money available, I am willing to invest in something green even if it is not the 'best' investment, I am pretty financially savvy; and have gone through all the offer documents.

However, I am struggling to get too excited about it. I think this is because it is (overly) complex. And it quite a lot of hassle for a couple of hundred pounds of savings a year. 

Ironically, if I could invest say £10k in it, it would be more appealing.

Cheltenham?

Oh, too late, the bookies have got it!
