Impressive.

What I like most about Ripple energy is the way I am kept informed with frequent updates on the progress of Kirk Hill, not just payments. Thank you.

Buying into Ripple Energy was a no brainier

Buying into Ripple Energy was a very easy experience, a great green option if you can’t afford solar panels or your house etc is not in the right position.
We have been kept updated on the project progress which has a long way to go before we see any benefits but so far I’m happy with the way it’s going.
I wanted to do something for the environment and greener energy for the planet and this seemed a good way to do my bit.
Well done Ripple energy.

Keep getting pressed by Ripple

Keep getting pressed by Ripple to give a review so that they can generate interest from other investors .

So here it is

The trouble is I don’t really know if it’s good bad or middling . My investment cash was accepted speedily but other than that I can’t really offer anything tangible at present .

Read any prospectus carefully and understand what you might be investing in before parting with your cash .

Sceptical at first

The initial contact was a flyer through the door. I was a little skeptical but interested enough to follow up online. Reviews there put my mind at ease and subsequent contact with Ripple has all been good.

While I have not yet seen the outcome of the investment in terms of electricity production it is a great idea. The information available from Ripple was very clear and the investment process was very straightforward. I am looking forward to the next Ripple project.

Seems to be a good company

Seems to be a good company to deal with. Plenty of info on the website.
2nd windfarm not operational yet & I haven't finished paying for all of my shares in it, so will need to wait until 2023 to reassess.

Thanks very much for the review Dave. We're looking forward to progressing with the Kirk Hill wind farm so that members can start reaping the benefits of their own green energy generation!

It was easy to invest. I can't say more than that.

Ripple's website information made it easy to invest in their wind farm. It's a type of investment I've been looking for, for a long time now. Much easier than getting solar panels.

I'm looking forward to getting repayments when the wind farm goes live. I trust that I'll get them, but at this stage, I can only say that potential investors should look carefully at the conditions of the investment.

Does what it says on the tin, so far.

In summary so far, so good.

Setup of account, documentation, etc were all fine, price (dependent on personal configuration and payment method) was reasonable assuming it doesn't all 'fall through' which I'm paranoid enough to assume may happen given the long lead times. Update in a year if the worst happens!

I’m pleased to able to be part of this project, and I’m generally happy with the process- my caveat is that I have not received much in the way of confirmation of my stake, in either tranche of sales. I have received emails but it would be reassuring to have an actual certificate of some kind for my records
