Thrive’s Managing Director, Matthew, discusses this landmark project, the power of community energy and why onshore wind should be used to help end the UK’s dependence on dirty fossil fuels.

Positive News UK: The Bristol community building England's largest wind turbine

The capital raised will help fund two new wind farms in Scotland and Wales, and provide funding to enable communities to build and own their own local projects.

You will need to register for Triodos Bank’s crowdfunding platform to access the offer document.
Thrive is one of the UK’s top crowdfunded companies, raising £63 million so far which we have used to fund 45 wind, solar and hydro projects across the UK. Backed by a community of over 6,000 shareholders, we enable individual and impact-driven institutional investors to put their money to work to make a difference and generate a fair return. This new bond offer will allow investors looking for both a financial and social return to back new renewable energy projects that help tackle the climate emergency and support local communities.
The five year bond has a minimum investment of £25, paying 5.5% gross interest per year, and is eligible to be held in the Triodos Innovative Finance ISA (IFISA), that allows interest to be received tax-free. Interest payments and repayment of capital are not guaranteed. Like all ISAs, the Innovative Finance ISA is subject to eligibility criteria and tax treatment depends on individual circumstances. ISA eligibility does not guarantee returns or protect consumers from losing their money.
In 2023 we announced our ambition to double generation capacity within five years, and we are already developing the projects we need to achieve this. Funds raised from the bond will help construct our largest project yet – a 14 turbine, 57MW onshore wind farm in the Scottish Borders. Once operational, the project will be capable of generating up to 149,400 MWh of clean electricity per year, the equivalent of powering around 45,000 average UK homes, and delivering 65,300 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions reductions annually.
The bond will also help to fund the development of Abergorki wind farm in Rhondda Cynon Taf, South Wales. The three-turbine project is expected to begin operating in 2027 and will be capable of generating up to 40,000 MWh of clean electricity per year, the equivalent of powering over 12,400 average Welsh homes.

In 2016 Thrive raised £13 million through two bond offers – one of which was the UK’s first bond offer to be made available through an Innovative Finance ISA (IFISA). Projects funded by the offers are still generating clean electricity today, with both bonds repaid as planned in 2021 and 2024.
Now open, our first bond offer since 2016 will help us build new wind farms that will help sustainably power the equivalent of over 57,000 more homes.

We’re raising funds to build new clean energy projects and finance more community energy.  

New bond offer open – help us develop and build two new wind farms

Despite a less windy start to 2025, wind resource started to pick back up in the second half of the year and we were able to draw on our diverse portfolio of projects to help balance out the natural variability between technologies – upping generation from 2024.  
A major highlight in 2025 was acquiring a 10MW ground mount solar farm in Essex in May which started generating later that month. Dunmow solar farm experienced a very productive, sunny first summer – generating enough clean electricity to power over 8,000 homes in June. We are currently exploring opportunities for the local community to own a stake in the project – delivering on our pledge to provide the community an opportunity to own a share of every new project we acquire.

Thrive’s projects generated enough clean electricity to power all the homes in a town the size of Southport.

Strong generation in 2025 as portfolio powers up

Whitelaw Brae is the second project to be funded by Fair Play Clean Energy Ltd, Thrive’s joint venture with TopCashback Sustainability, which brings together a combined £80 million in capital to fund new clean energy projects in the UK. 
Once operational, the wind farm will be capable of generating up to 149,000 MWh of clean electricity per year – the equivalent of powering over 45,000 average UK homes – and delivering over 65,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions reductions.
The transaction was advised by CMS (lenders), TLT (sponsors), Locogen and WTW (insurance).
