Social Housing Solar PV Scheme Is Europe’s Largest Crowd-Funded Venture

Two renewable energy companies from Yorkshire and Scotland have embarked on a partnership to deliver what is claimed to be Europe’s largest ever crowd-funded solar energy project. Oakapple Renewable Energy (ORE), based in Leeds, is working with Glasgow-based Edison Energy to install up to 794 roof-mounted solar PV systems with a total capacity of 2,595 kW for Berwickshire Housing Association (BHA), in the Scottish Borders. The £3.1 million scheme will roll out over four months and will be installed on houses across Berwickshire helping to reduce tenants’ energy bills by as much as 30% without any cost to them, the partners said.
