Our response to Government measures to break the link between gas and electricity prices 📢
Posts by Thrive Renewables
The government recently announced the biggest public investment into community-owned energy in the UK to date. But what does that mean in practice?
We look ahead to next steps alongside others in the sector in Positive News 👇

Much more than just megawatts ⚡️
Projects like this community-owned wind turbine in Kilbirnie give back to local people.
At a time when clean, homegrown power is more important than ever.

Did you know that repowering could add around 690 MW of additional onshore wind capacity by 2035 if barriers are addressed?
Looking forward to sharing insights on repowering at @regeninsight.bsky.social's event this week for the launch of their latest report 👇

@carbonbrief.org analysis reveals record wind and solar output avoided the need to import roughly 18 fully loaded tankers of liquified natural gas (LNG).
Together, wind and solar generated 11 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity in March, up a combined 28% - a new record.

Proud to be nominated for Whitelaw Brae wind farm 🏆
Investment Manager, Triple Point, provided debt funding for the construction of the 57MW wind farm in Scotland which will help sustainably power over 45,000 average UK homes once operational.
Congrats to all the finalists 👏

Great to see construction progressing at Whitelaw Brae wind farm 🛠️ These photos are taken in the same spot– foundation pours started late last year and are now ready for the turbine towers.
Once operational, the project will generate enough electricity to power around 45k average UK homes a year.
Great to hit this milestone 🎉

#BCorp month is coming to a close next week, but our commitment to putting people and planet first continues every day 🌍 👣
It’s been brilliant to hear so many inspiring stories from purpose-driven companies throughout March. Let’s keep pushing to raise the bar.

And in times like these, a proactive response isn’t doom-scrolling or wishful thinking, it’s getting on with building proven, homegrown solutions.

We’ve got a long way to go to reduce our reliance on oil and gas. But together we are already making progress – renewables produced nearly half of UK electricity last year.
We need to break the fossil fuel cycle.
Homegrown, local clean energy projects ensure communities benefit, not large corporates. And together have a big impact nationally – strengthening energy security and reducing UK carbon emissions.
Huge thanks to everyone who’s supported our bond offer so far!
We’re halfway to reaching our £5 million target 🎉
