Power up your investments

14 February, 2025

Looking for a sustainable investment opportunity? Octopus Energy’s new platform, The Collective, is giving you a chance to directly invest in renewable energy projects. With as little as £25, you can invest in wind power infrastructure and play a part in the transition to greener energy.  

Octopus aims to raise £1 million through this platform to fund two wind turbines in Yorkshire and Wales. Investors can look forward to projected returns of 6% annually, while supporting the expansion of clean energy. Even better, Octopus customers can choose to reinvest their dividends into their energy bills, effectively lowering household costs. 

As with any investment, there are risks to consider: weather conditions, policy changes, and energy price fluctuations can all impact returns. However, this platform provides a unique way to participate in the green energy transition. By making renewable energy investment accessible and combining potential returns with real-world impact, Octopus is creating a new path for sustainable investing. 

So, as you’re looking to make a real impact with your investments, consider checking out The Collective. It could be a win for your wallet and the environment, but don’t rely on us for investment advice!
