Invest

Shares in Sheffield Renewables are offered as a social investment for public spirited and environmentally aware individuals and organisations. Our aim is to provide an attractive ethical investment opportunity where investors receive a modest return, complemented by wider social benefits. This type of funding ensures that Jordan Dam Hydro and Sheffield Renewables’ future projects will be controlled and owned by the community. All investors become members, part of the community that owns and democratically runs Sheffield Renewables.

Jordan Dam Hydro
Our first investment opportunity will enable us to build Jordan Dam Hydro. This is expected to be the largest community owned hydro project in the UK so far. We plan to raise £250,000 towards the costs of developing the scheme through a Community Share Offer to the public. The ‘Projects’ page gives more information about the scheme. Through brining success in this first scheme, investors will be supporting Sheffield Renewables’ work to bring forward more projects.

Community Shares
Community Shares are an increasingly popular way for people to contribute to projects they believe are important. Independent information and guidance for people considering investing in Community Share Offers (produced by the Community Shares research project) can be downloaded here.

Next Steps
We will be launching our first public share offer shortly. Once this offer is open an Offer Document will be available on the website. Before you invest you will need to read this document carefully. In the meantime, signing up to our newsletter and attending an investor event are good ways to find out more.
