Invest in South East London Community Energy

October 28th, 2015 By comms@ldn.coop Leave a Comment

South East London Community Energy (SELCE) is a not-for-profit co-operative that is aiming to raise £250,000 to install solar panels on four primary schools in SE London.

But they can’t achieve this goal without your help. They have just launched a ‘community share offer’ that enables SE Londoners to become investors in the project and help to make it become a reality. The best part is that everyone who becomes involved with SELCE benefits.

So what’s in it for you?

  • SELCE intend to pay you 4% interest per year.
  • You may be eligible for 30% tax relief on your investment under the Enterprise Investment Scheme.
  • Shares may be exempt from inheritance tax if hold for more than 2 years.

Who else benefits?

  • SELCE’s solar arrays will collectively help to combat climate change by saving around 94 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year.
  • In total, Ashmead and Horniman Schools in Lewisham and Mulgrave and Charlton Park Academy schools in Greenwich will reduce their electricity bills by £358,000 over the 20-year project: enabling them to spend more money on the things they really need.
  • As well as paying interest to investors, SELCE aim to produce £90,000 of surplus over the life of the project. This will be used to expand the work we are already doing to reduce fuel poverty in South East London.
