Energy Prospects Co-operative

The aim of the Energy Prospects Co-op is distinctly different from Energy4All's existing co-ops; it is designed to fund an earlier stage in a projects development and thereby to expand the number of projects available for community ownership. The immediate aim is to raise development capital for a portfolio of projects selected by the (completely independent) board of Energy Prospects Co-operative.

The idea is that once a project has achieved planning consent, the project co-op will run its own share issue in the usual way, to pay Energy Prospects Co-operative its fee and subsequently build and operate the project.
