Community Share Offers

A community share offer is currently under way for Wester Derry Wind Co-op near Perth for a 250kW turbine. Planning permission has been granted and the turbine is currently being made in Germany. The total being sought is £800,000, with good projected returns. It’s a sparsely populated area so the co-op welcomes members from further afield- see http://www.westerderrywind.org.uk

A new primary school is being built complete with a 90kW solar array owned by Leominster Sunrise Co-operative. The array will save around 720 tonnes of CO² in total and save the school at least £2500 on their energy bills yearly. For share offer details see http://www.leominstersunrise.org.uk
