Community Share Offers

Wester Derry Wind Co-op

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
