Main share offer to launch 28 April

Heartland Community Wind will be launching its main share offer in Aberfeldy on Tuesday April 28th 2015 in the Birks Cinema at 7pm.

The share offer will raise the remaining funds needed to construct the two medium-scale turbines, which are due to be operational by November 2015. £1.35m remains to be raised after a very successful ‘pioneer’ share offer which raised £450,000 to place turbine orders.

The main share offer will focus strongly on maximising local involvement and ownership of the Society. Local people will have priority for share applications, and we are reducing the minimum investment to £100.  Members will also get a vote on the community fund, generous tax reliefs under the EIS scheme, as well as interest payments on their share capital.

The launch event will include a short presentation explaining the project and how to join the Society, and a chance to meet some of the people who have been working on it to date.  Light refreshments will be available.
