 Craigbather is the UK's first ever consumer owned wind farm, so this means that the people that own it actually get supplied with the low cost green electricity that it generates and as a result they get savings off their electricity bill for its 25 year lifetime. The Ripple approached the Welsh Government energy service for support for pre-construction finance, so this was money that could sit alongside the funds that have been raised from the co-op itself. The project aligned really well with the energy service and the Welsh Government's aim to support a locally owned renewable energy in Wales and deliver community benefits as well. Their support really helps supercharge the project and accelerate investment in Wales and the UK's first ever consumer owned wind farm.
