Are you ready to be part of a pioneering energy initiative?

As trailed in a previous Friday 5 article this week Ripple Energy is launching an opportunity for individuals to co-own a massive wind farm project in the picturesque Scottish Borders. With a minimum investment of just £25, you can become a certified Ripple member, gaining access to affordable, renewable electricity while making a positive impact on the environment.

The Whitelaw Brae Wind Farm, boasting 14 turbines, promises to be Britain’s largest people-owned renewable energy endeavor. Secured by Ripple Energy in partnership with developers

Baywa-re.,this project will allow thousands of people nationwide to join in through a cooperative model. By participating, members can power their homes with up to 100% green energy, slashing electricity bills and reducing their carbon footprint.

Expected to generate about 145GWh per year , the Whitelaw Brae Wind Farm can power over 50,000 homes. Impressively, at maximum output, it will take just three minutes to supply enough electricity for an entire household for an entire year. This initiative not only promotes sustainable living but also contributes significantly to the UK’s energy security and net-zero goals.

This marks Ripple Energy’s fourth major project since its inception seven years ago. Previous ventures have already saved members over £1.2 million on electricity bills. Additionally, with ongoing projects like the Kirk Hill wind farm in Scotland and the Derril Water solar park in England, Ripple is revolutionizing how we generate and consume energy.

So if you’ve ever fancied being a clean energy investor, don’t miss your chance to be part of this historic movement towards a greener, more sustainable future. To find out more, see Ripple Energy’s website.
