It’s with a sense of pride that GreenVesting is working to improve the economy of the town of our personal and corporate birth. The town leaders have been encouraging and helpful to us in many ways since we opened our doors for business. Our latest project is to develop a photo voltaic plant on a parcel of land owned by the town. The land is currently used as a ground station for satellite communication and was a former military base. This type of site is ideal for a ground-based solar park as it is situated high on the hill (excellent light conditions) overlooking the town, possesses a good security infrastructure and is unsuitable for agricultural use given its past. GreenVesting is hoping to get permission from the town leaders to build a 4 mega watt photovoltaic installation on the land with a capital cost of Euro 9 Million. GreenVesting will source some of the capital for the project locally through the community savings bank allowing the citizens of the town to benefit from the renewable energy revolution on their door step. This project is typical of the socially responsible development and investment that is possible with renewable energy. The local community will benefit from rental income from the project for the next twenty years and the citizens will be able to participate in the investment directly. Given the current time schedule, GreenVesting hopes to have the plant completed by mid -year and plans to begin marketing the investment both locally and internationally shortly. We will keep everyone posted as to our progress! |
