Local solar – open for investment!

OVESCO’s fourth community share offer is now open! And for the first two weeks it’s being shared with local people, before it’s promoted more widely to the UK’s ethical investment community. So, Lewes Climate Hub readers have an early chance to get involved.

The offer funds solar arrays at three much-loved local sites: Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare, Bevern Trust, and Holmansbridge Farm. Two of the three arrays are already up and generating power, delivering clean, solar-generated power and lowering bills for the host sites.

People can invest from £250, with OVESCO targeting a 5% annual return for shareholders from 2028. Beyond the potential annual return you may receive, your capital is helping to fund clean local power, and lower energy bills for two brilliant charities and a small family farm.
