As part of our mission to build a cleaner, fairer energy system, we empower communities to own and operate local renewable energy projects. In 2017, Thrive provided a £2.3 million funding bridge to Brockholes Community Energy Ltd so that it could acquire  the 2.4MW wind farm near Duns – generating enough renewable electricity to meet the demand of over 1,600 homes a year. The project, which was managed by Mongoose Energy, was repaid in 2018.  The funds repaid to Thrive meant we could put more investment into new renewables across the UK.
