Part own a shared solar park or wind farm & have its green, cheaper electricity supplied to your home
What has been your highlight of 2023?๐
All I want for Christmas is a max wind record from National Grid UK๐ฅ
2023 in general was a record breaking year for renewables, let's see what 2024 brings ๐
What a year 2023 has been๐๐
*insert warm fuzzy feeling*
The novelty of seeing all 8 turbines constructed at hasn't quite worn off yet ๐ 5,600 people made this happen!
Kirk Hill wind farm turbine assembly complete ๐
This wind farm has the potential to power over 20,000 households and businesses.
Wow - Turbine 8 is up. This marks the end of turbine construction at Kirk Hill for its 5,600 members ๐
We're so incredibly proud to reach this milestone ๐ฅ
Team Ripple have been discussing sustainable Christmas decorations - so far we've had a handmade wooden reusable tree, a wreath made from foraged foliage and decorating houseplants rather than buying a new tree.
What are you favourite sustainable festive hacks? ๐
Happy Friday indeed, November was another epic month of savings for our members.
Over ยฃ100 saved on average per member and almost ยฃ50,000 to those in fuel poverty at a time when it's needed most. This is what real climate action can look like ๐
How it started vs how its going ๐
Here's what 7 months of progress looks like at wind farm ๐ Just waiting for that gap in the wind so we can get T8 up!
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... looking beautiful in the snow yesterday โ๏ธ๐
(PS spot the progress being made on Turbine 8 ๐)
We know you've all been on tenterhooks waiting for this one... Here is your Ripple Wrapped 2023 ๐ฅ
This may look like a photo of any field. But it's going to become famous very soon. Big things coming...๐
Turbine 6 is now up which means we have 7 out of 8 turbines constructed ๐ Just 1 more to go! Our Kirk Hill project is nearing completion which means that supercharged energy savings will soon be reaching thousands of Ripple cooperative members.๐
We know energy prices are on people's minds a lot now it's starting to get colder. We were out in Manchester gathering people's thoughts on shared solar and safe to say, it was well-received ๐
We are so proud that Kirk Hill Wind Farm has been nominated for The Scottish Green Energy Awards
The team are ready for another day at telling people about the joys of owning a wind farm or solar park ๐
Come down and say hi!
๐Introducing Turbine 4: The Newest Addition to Kirk Hill Wind Farm.
Welcome to the world, Turbine 4! ๐ We're thrilled to announce the arrival of our latest addition to the renewable energy family. Turbine 4 is ready to spin into action, bringing sustainable energy and a greener future. Join us in celebrating this milestone๐
Shared solar - 40 years of cheaper, greener power ๐ฅ
But how exactly do your savings work? Here's Sarah to tell you more.
Details on our next project coming very soon.
Some of the team are now in Amsterdam getting ready for which kicks off tomorrow.
It's always a joy telling people they really can own a bit of a wind farm or solar park to power their home ๐
Shared solar parks last for decades โ๏ธ
For Derril Water members, The Baxters, that's decades of sustainable power and lower energy costs ๐
As members of Derril Water, our first solar park, The Cobbett family own 40 years of cheaper, greener power for their future and their children's future ๐
Reserve your place at our second, even larger, shared solar park which is coming soon ๐

Very pleased to share Turbine 5 was born over the weekend!
The team worked incredibly hard during a good weather window and T5 was born around midday on the 5th ๐
This gets us one step closer to finishing the UK's largest consumer owned wind farm: ๐ฅ
Everyone, everywhere deserves to own their own source of low cost clean power. Ripple member, Ele, lives in a city centre flat. But she is still able to own green energy.
We need more and people-owned power to make this possible for everyone.
is taking a stand to make this happen. Find out how ๐https://rippleenergy.com/generation-yes
Slightly obsessed with this shot of looking moody under the grey clouds.
4/8 turbines done. We are *so* excited to get the remaining 4 up โก๏ธ
Younger people will be most impacted by climate change. They want change. And they want it now.
We support a future where everyone, everywhere benefits from the clean energy transition.

Turbine 1 was the true pot of gold at over the weekend ๐
PS see if you can spot the progress on Turbine 3 next to the crane ๐
A renewable energy future owned by people not companies
Hereโs a secret - you donโt need big utilities to decide where your electricity comes from.
You can do it yourself.
If you want your electricity to come from low cost onshore wind, soon youโll be able to. Ripple will soon enable people (yes, that means you) to own a little bit of a wind farm, and have the electricity it produces supplied to your home. A real wind farm you can go and visit.
No hassle, no fuss. Just low cost, green electricity for 25 years.
Whatโs not to love, right?
