Video to promote taking solar farm into community ownership to be shown at Shropshire cinemas

A scheme to take a solar farm into community ownership is hitting the big screen – with a special video screening.

A short video film promoting the Twemlows solar farm share offer is being shown among the adverts at both the Orbit Cinema in Wellington and the Festival Drayton Centre in Market Drayton – both of which are community run.

STCE has already provided a grant towards solar photovoltaics at the Festival Drayton Centre and its share offer has raised more than £200,000 over the last two months. “The Twemlows offer is a win-win for investors and the community. It offers a target return of six per cent on investment, represents the perfect opportunity to invest in environmentally responsible energy generation which will help fight climate change and means we can generate lots more funding for community projects around the county.

Twemlows, which began operating in 2016, is a 10MW solar farm on the edge of Whitchurch which can power the equivalent of 3,400 homes.
