Ripple Energy wind farm?

Netexporter

Just got an invitation to join a crowd-funder for the general expansion of Ripple Energy ie. not linked to any particular project. Seems like they are looking to start working further afield in mainland Europe.

But, be warned there are unlikely to be any dividend returns for some time, so purely a speculative investment. Even so I hope to stick a few more bob into the scheme in the hope of maintaining my very limited share.

Next project, a solar park, is open for reservations.

Was disappointed when I got the email today. Already got a bit of DW and was wanting wind to balance it out.

I've got some KH, so some solar would complement that, to even out the income over the year.

Given the government position and that even since they relaxed the rules there have been no applications for wind turbines in England I wasn't surprised by this.  I don't really think it matters whether it's PV or Wind as they both offer savings. The only major difference is the timing of the cash flows. The biggest disappointment with DW as I can see is that it's expected to come online just as we move into the really poor months for PV production so we won't begin to see any decent cash until 2025.

I can see the disappointment for those hoping for a wind project to balance out generation during the course of the year. However, as income is added to our utility account as generation takes place then financially speaking it really doesn't matter, other than in our "nice to have" mindset.

In terms of value for money, or return on investment, then which ever method is most favourable is likely to be chosen by those making the offer or they would likely leave themselves open to criticism for not doing so.

With Turbine manufacturing and installation costs having spiralled in the last year, while Solar panel costs are heading in the opposite direction it would appear an entirely sensible choice.

According to Ripple then Project 4 appears to offer an even better ROI than DW and while we are at our maximum allocation, so not able to take part, we shall be encouring our offspring to do so even though they already have some shares in earlier projects.

I'm at 120% of UK average consumption, for KH, but I now have an EV and will almost certainly have a heat pump installed by the time Project 4 comes on line. How do I go about "proving" my future consumption to qualify for P4?

Last year we made a £25 reservation fee, unfortunately it turned out not to a wind but a solar farm  plus the investment per kWh increased. We decide to turn the £25 reservation fee to £25 shares to be honest I don't want these shares how do I get rid of these shares.

You can self-declare on the website somewhere under 'Portfolio' I think.  This is a change they've made in the last year.  If that doesn't work email them with consumption data. In the past I've sent them consumption data I'd downloaded from the Octopus website and they were happy to accept that.
