An energy start-up is launching Britain’s first “consumer-owned wind farm”, offering people the chance to buy a share of a turbine in return for receiving the electricity it produces.
Ripple Energy is aiming to sign up about 2,000 households in the UK to crowdfund the £4.3 million construction of the pilot, one-turbine project at Graig Fatha Farm near Coedely, north of Cardiff.
People that buy shares in the Graig Fatha co-operative will be securing the right to a proportion of the electricity it will produce.
