How bright is the future for UK renewables?
For many years, we've watched with optimism as the UK's renewable energy sector has grown, bringing us closer to a net-zero electricity system. The recent shift in government policy, with the creation of Great British Energy, promises to accelerate this progress and bolster the community energy sector, which has faced significant challenges in recent years.
We’re proud that our community of Ethex investors are demonstrating a strong commitment to renewable energy by supporting the latest Solar for Schools CBS bond offer. With over 75% of the bond’s £800,000 target already reached, this is set to be Solar for Schools' eleventh successful investment campaign on our platform. This remarkable achievement underscores the growing public desire to invest in projects that have a proven track record of both environmental and social benefits.
A vision for the future
Solar for Schools CBS is pioneering a brighter future by installing UK schools with solar power. Their model not only reduces energy bills and carbon emissions for the schools but also cultivates a new generation of sustainability leaders through their engaging education programs.
Solar for Schools CBS has a bold vision of solar panels on every UK school rooftop, a huge step to accelerate the UK's transition to clean energy. Their achievements so far speak for themselves: over 24,200 MWh of clean electricity generated, and 4671 tonnes of CO2 reduced – equivalent to powering 1000 homes for a year. And this is just the beginning.
The CBS has also provided energy education to over 160,000 pupils, giving valuable insights into the future of renewable energy generation and inspiring more young people to join the fight against climate change.
Investor Support: Fueling a Brighter Future
Solar for Schools CBS is on a mission to bring solar power to every UK school, but achieving this ambitious goal requires substantial investment. While participating schools benefit from free installations, the upfront costs remain a significant challenge. With a growing waiting list of over 100 schools, the need for funding is more urgent than ever.
Our recent webinar with Solar for Schools underscored the pivotal role of investors in their success. By joining their community of bondholders, you can directly contribute to creating a cleaner, greener future for countless students. Are you ready to invest to make a difference?
Your opportunity to show your support
There is still time for you to join thousands of other bondholders in Solar for Schools CBS by investing in their latest bond offer. They are aiming to raise at least £800,000 by the end of September 2024 and this will enable them to install solar panels and provide education programmes to around 15 –20 more schools.
Investments start at £250 and can be held within an Innovative Finance ISA, so the returns (5.5% fixed over 5 years) can be free of tax.
It’s an opportunity to invest to target a decent financial return, but more importantly, invest in the future of renewable energy generation and education for the UK!
