Bonds
Thrive has successfully delivered two crowdfunded bonds – including the first to be available through an Innovative Finance ISA in 2016.
We believe in the power of together
A world where everyone can be part of the clean energy generation. Being innovative in the way we raise capital enables us to connect more people to renewables.
As well as offering shares in the company, we have invited investors, large and small, to take part in crowdfunded bond offers. Our bondholders earn a yearly return on their investment while we put their money to work building new clean energy projects.
Looking back
Building a cleaner, fairer energy system with the Thrive Renewables Plc bond
The bond had a £5 minimum investment with 5% interest rate. It was successfully repaid after seven years as planned, having helped fund Mean Moor wind farm in Cumbria – the first commercial scale wind farm in the country to transfer from a developer to 100% community ownership. Funds raised by the bond were also used to build a 6MW wind farm in West Lothian on the site of a disused coal mine, as well as a 2MW hydro-electric project in the Scottish Highlands.
Thrive was ‘highly commended’ at Investment Week’s Sustainable Investment Awards in 2017 for the bond’s innovation.
Buchan Bond 2016 - 2021
Thrive’s first ever bond offer reached it’s £3 million target in less than four weeks. This made it the second fastest bond offer to close in Ethex’s history at the time.
The bond had a £250 minimum investment with 5.5% annual return over a five year period. It was successfully repaid in 2021 having helped fund two wind farms in Aberdeenshire. Today Auchtygills and Clayfords deliver a combined annual output of 5,570 MWh – enough to power 1,719 homes.
