ECOE December Newsletter



	Another Chance to say Thank You

	'Wow'....we've said that word quite a few times recently! November was quite some month, seeing ECOE raise £390,000 of investment with your help. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all once more, particularly all our fantastic investors who are now members of ECOE! .



	News about Solar PV1

	As you will know, ECOE launched our first Community Share Offer last month, aiming to raise the funds required to complete all planned installations that form Solar PV1. To all our surprise, we managed to raise an incredible £390,000 in under 3 weeks, an immense achievement given the timescales involved... Two installations are now in place at Shillingford and Wonford with a further two roofs due to be installed over December...find out more at our website.



	Other ECoE News

	There will not be a second Community Share Offer in January 2016 as previously planned. This is no longer required due to funds being raised in November. If you are a new Member/Shareholder, your Share Certificate will be issued on/by December 14th. Visit our new Members Page to stay in touch with developments. We are working with our partners to establish the viability of a portfolio of roofs made up of preregistered roofs around Devon. The ECOE Monthly Social is happening once more at Exeter Phoenix on Thursday December 10th from 6pm. Please come along and join us. We'd love to see you all!

	Community Energy & Renewables News

	We're all expectantly awaiting news on the future of the Feed-in Tariff from the government. It would seem likely that the Department of Energy & Climate Change will report back on the consultation to MPs on the 16 December. We should then learn of the government's intentions which could well come into force by the end of January. We are hearing positive noises that the tariff cuts will not be as deep as first put forward.....
