“For more than 30 years, Thrive Renewables has been an innovator in developing and operating clean energy projects across the UK, while creating opportunities for communities to participate in and benefit from the energy transition. We are delighted to support Thrive’s ambition to double its clean energy generation capacity by 2028, advancing the Church’s commitment to protecting our planet for future generations.”

“Thrive Renewables’ strong track record in delivering environmentally and socially impactful clean energy projects closely aligns with Rathbones’ responsible investment principles, ensuring that the companies we invest in operate in the long-term interests of shareholders. We are pleased to be able to support Thrive’s mission to empower people to take action to address the climate emergency, whether it’s through the facilitation of community energy or innovative projects like the UK’s first geothermal production plant.”

“We’re hugely grateful for the support from Rathbones and The Archbishops’ Council as part of our latest bond offer, with their investment playing an invaluable role in the next stage of our growth journey. Having announced our ambition to double our generation capacity by 2028, we already have the projects we need to achieve this, with two large onshore wind farms currently in development as well as a pipeline of community energy projects via Community Energy Catalyst. Since our first wind farm in the early 90s, we have focused on bringing people along with us on the journey and we’re looking forward to continuing that, funding and building new clean energy projects that make a genuine impact – not only financially but environmentally and socially too.”
