PowerSwitch

Anyone ever had any dealings, or know any news, about these guys? They facilitate buying "debentures" (a bit like bonds) in proposed and existing renewable energy projects. I am contemplating dipping the Renewable toes in: in particular the Solar Schools project that's open at the moment. Two brains are better than none and all that.

Not directly, but you might like to look at this one

They currently have an offer that's open till 21st September - you could get a 7% return if you don't mind your money being tied up for a while.

Thanks Biff. I also notice Triodos has a direct finger in the Renewables pie https://www.triodos.co.uk/en/personal/e ... n-page-tr/
Oh, dicisions, decisions...

Spread it round, Candy. Always the safest bet. Eggs - baskets and all that!

I can strongly recommend them - they won our 'gold' Ashden Award this summer, and I was involved in visiting them and assessing their work. There's a 1-minute video and a case study (which I wrote) on our website:

Thanks guys (espe. Mike)

Toes in!

Can't yet report whether the water's lovverley, but you get the idea

Nice one! That's the idea with the minimum £5 investment, you can try it out at minimal cost to satisfy yourself that that their process works, and then put more in later. There's a short video we made about them here:
