Congleton Community Solar - BECOME A GREEN INVESTOR

DVCE-CP (Dane Valley Community Energy-Congleton Park Ltd) is embarking on a new renewable energy initiative to harness power from roof based solar panels which we will install on schools and commercial properties in Congleton, wider Cheshire and North Staffordshire.

The project will reduce energy costs for participating sites including schools as well as provide an educational resource to increase environmental and sustainability awareness.

Surplus funds will also benefit local community projects. 

This is an opportunity for you to generate a projected 5% return on your investment and have your capital returned over 15 years. You can invest from £100 to £50,000 (institutional investors can invest up to £100,000). Our aim is to raise £530,000. The offer will close at the end of October 2023. 

For a share offer and business plan including full details of the project, benefits and risks we invite you to visit www.congletonsolar.co.uk or click on the link below.

* Our hydro scheme has generated 380 MWh of green electricity in under 2 years of operation and has already raised £9000 to community projects.  We are proud that the UK government chose to use our scheme as the poster child for its new £10M development fund to support community energy.

Big Solar Co-op Share Offer

Our new rolling share offer is open!Our first share offer ended in December 2022 with a total raised of £840k. This got us a long way down the road of what we needed to secure in order to deliver on our front runner sites. ut things are moving pretty fast in Big Solar Co-op land. With Dean (our new Client Lead) now in place we are progressing some very promising solar sites and we need to make sure we have the funds in place to finance them. We've seen a lot of interest in shares since we closed our first share offer so we are hopeful that this new offer will see a great take-up. 

There are a few changes to our share offer structure and terms. Firstly, we have revised our interest policy to be more in line with our governing document. We will now aim to pay interest of 5% (or 2% above the base rate if higher). This new policy applies to all shares including those already issued. We project that it will take a few years to ramp up interest payments to this level but we hope that the new target will help ethical investors to take the plunge. 

The other major change to our share offer is that it is now a rolling offer - there is no planned end date and we will issue shares on a quarterly basis.
