It’s now too late to be part of Exeter’s first community-owned renewable energy project, however with your support there will be further share offers and many more energy installations! Click the image on the left to download the Share Offer document now to find out what you might have missed out on!
The target amount for our Solar Power Community Share Offer was £390,000 to cover the installation of solar panels on 9 rooftops across the city. These rooftops will have a combined capacity of around 300kWp of solar! All £390,000 was raised in under 3 weeks!
The Share Offer ran from November 7th – 27th 2015. The short period was due to government changes to Tax Reliefs on investments in community energy. EIS Tax Relief expired on November 29th with no replacement for this in place. This was the very last chance, at the current time, to invest in a community solar scheme that includes EIS Tax Relief and also benefits from the higher FIT rate – all projects involved were accredited prior to the drop in subsidy on 1st October.

Each of these has an agreement in principle and we hope all will go ahead over the next months.
