I hummed about this one before eventually not investing. I could easily have got done but usually for a lot of the projects I wasn't quick enough in deciding. That is probably why because it felt like... See more
Just Excellent in every way.
Good communication
Straightforward process to enrol and we’re really excited to follow the wind farm build and looking forward to the savings on bills. A really great idea.
Doing what it should but member communication is poor. No update on an outage from over a week ago. After 3 months they still can't get 3 payments to add up properly. If you want updates you have to keep checking their website all the time (no option to be emailed updates). Information is still spread over their website and social media accounts.
Ripple enables me to reduce my bills and contribute to improving the world we live in.
Excellent people
My initial contact with Ripple was instructive and helpful. I decided to invest in the new wind farm on the basis that this Company had already proved its credentials and the detailed financial information and benefits were believable. I am investing on a monthly basis which gives me the option of cutting my losses if I lose confidence. That said the regular progress updates leave me to believe that my investment will be worthwhile. The website is easy to understand and customer service has so far been excellent.
Easy investment. Option to spread payment and great idea to democratise electric generation.
This project is a great idea and having seen them successfully build a similar project in Wales I feel confident that they will succeed in this, their 2nd project, in Scotland. Communication from Ripple is good, I know their plan and I get regular updates on progress. If all goes well and if the cost of energy continues to rise I might just make a modest return from this but this is not an investment as such (particularly at my age :)) but I do feel that it is a way of contributing to the efforts to make our country more energy independent as well as making my contribution to reducing carbon emissions.
Very easy to understand about all the costs and risks involved. Exciting project. Way to go! Ripple are amazing.
I am lucky enough to afford the up front costs to future proof costs of electricity during my retirement. The way electricity costs are increasing it seems it should be good value for my money. Just looking forward to November 2023 for my electricity supply and meanwhile trying to find out best way to switch from gas heating!
Great scheme and really well managed.
I bought into Ripple having discovered the innovative offer on Octopus Energy’s website. They had laudable environmental and social aims, showed the prospect of reasonable returns on investment and were low risk. For us it was also a way to generate energy as our roof wasn’t best for PV. Turned out to be a great decision. Proven success was shown in Wales at about that time. It is really engaging to be part of something innovative and pushing at the envelope of what is possible and desirable on behalf of energy consumer and shareholders. Plus + it now looks that much higher returns and so a shorter payback period might be possible. At a rate that exceeds the best previous solar returns. Ripple are prominent and active in reporting on events and environmental issues which is heartening. It helps confirm that the investment is helping in some way to contribute to the debate on green energy. I can highly recommend Ripple, it is very well led.
Ripple have been brilliant to deal with and even engage with owners on the dedicated Facebook group when there are questions. Everything was explained clearly and communication is excellent overall. I love the co-op model and it's a great solution to help make our household greener. We have solar panels and an EV but with rising energy prices wanted another source to insulate ourselves from price rises and make our consumption 100% renewable. Highly recommended.
Great concept. Kept informed. No problems buying the share I wanted. The real benefit won't become apparent until the wind farm is operational and I start to see real savings.
An excellent idea and scheme to help consumers save money on their energy bills. Accessible for all. Clear communication from start to finish with the process.
The processes to buy into Ripple energy are very easy and quick. Ripple are very good on keeping me informed on build progress. I can't comment on the generation benefits yet as I am part of the 2nd trauch of windmill investment, Kirk Hill. So this review may change in the future.
Happy to be Onboard! The team at ripple are responsive and helpful and seem to share my enthusiasm for the Kirkhill project.
I’m fairly optimistic about my investment but wondering how it fits in with charging a PHEV off peak in the early hours with say Octopus or Eon. Still, I have 18 months to buy one and switch.
Ripple Energy seem to takes great care to keep Investors informed of progress in a timely manner.
