Dear DCE Members and Newsletter Subscribers
Welcome to our 3rd Share Offer which is launched by this email, so you are the first to hear of it!
You are invited to invest in Dorset Community Energy , we hope to raise £445,000 to install 700kWp of rooftop solar panels on 10 schools and hospitals in Dorset. The schools and hospitals will benefit from reduced price electricity, and reduced carbon dioxide emissions.
This offers you a low-risk, ethical, local investment opportunity that supports the community and helps to fight climate change.
You can invest between £100 and £50,000, and can expect to receive a target interest rate of 5.5% per annum once the panels are installed; and your capital returned in 17 instalments over 20 years. New Members will benefit in the same way as existing Members, however the new sites in the 3rd Share Offer will be accounted for separately to those in the 1st and 2nd Share Offers.
Full details are on our website, where we also have an explanatory video.
