Clean Power Published on April 23rd, 2012 | by Zachary Shahan Community-funded or crowdfunded wind and solar power is now being encouraged in the UK by renewable energy networking site EnergyShare, which is offering up £5,000 each for the first 5 renewable energy projects that also raise £5,000 on their own via the crowdfunding website. Another company, Abundance Energy, is also trying to get individuals and businesses to help fund and gain from clean energy projects, encouraging them to invest as little as £5 in wind turbines for an upcoming project. Is crowdfunding about to sweep into the clean energy sector? This is similar to what Solar Mosaic is doing in the US and what the Solar Schools program is doing for schools across the UK, but it is still a rather quiet trend, and the question is, will it take off?

I certainly think it will. Real quickly, let’s run down what these two new options entail (since I’ve already covered Solar Mosaic and Solar Schools a bit). EnergyShare.

This estimated return is your return after fees and bad debt, but before tax. This calculation takes your bid rate and deducts the 1% annual investor fee and estimated bad debts for this risk band (based on a fully diversified portfolio lending to all businesses within that risk band). Annualised, estimated bad debts by risk band are: A+ = 0.6% (ie, each year we expect 0.6% of all loans to A+ businesses to become bad debts) A = 1.5% B = 2.3% C = 3.3% C- = 5% These estimates are provided as a guide only. Actual bad debts vary for each investor. You may incur more or less bad debts than estimated. Seedrs | Invest In Startups.
