Is crowd-funding the future for wind farms in the UK?

October 29, 2012 @ 7:33 pm By JD Alois

The “olde worlde” charm of St Briavels in the Forest of Dean is popular with tourists. They can even stay in a 13th Century gatehouse, built by Edward I to defend a crossbow bolt factory.

But now there is a new addition to the landscape – a wind turbine local people have helped fund.

It took engineers 24 hours to erect the turbine

The money was raised by green crowd-funding company Abundance Generation, under a scheme in which locals can invest as little as £5 and are promised a return of up to 8% on the investment, depending on how much electricity the turbine generates and sells.
