Shropshire and Telford Community Energy has launched a share offer with the aim of bringing a solar farm into community ownership.
Shropshire people have been invited to invest in Twemlows solar farm, near Whitchurch, and earn a return of 6 per cent while also supporting local green energy generation.
The aim of the offer is to enable people who care about climate change to put their money to work to tackle the issue directly, earn a fair return on their investment, and increase the solar farm’s economic contribution to the local area.Robert Saunders, chair of Shropshire and Telford Community Energy , said: “Our aim is to raise the capital needed to purchase this highly efficient operating solar farm and deliver a substantial increase in community benefits for many years to come.
"Twemlows is supporting a cleaner, greener, fairer future helping to accelerate the transition to net zero and we hope lots of local people will join us on the journey.” Twemlows solar farm has been in operation since 2016 and it supplies enough electricity for the equivalent of 3,400 average homes, saving over 4,000 tonnes of carbon per year.
