solar panels installed on a school |
A new Brent community energy group are launching a share offer at an event tonight at Queens Park Community School. Brent Pure Energy are organising the event at the school in Aylestone Avenue at 7pm. MP Barry Gardiner is amongst the speakers attending.
Brent Pure Energy is
a new innovative community-based project to bring cheap, renewable
energy to Brent by putting solar panels on public buildings. Their
first project will be at Queens Park Community School (QPCS).
Speakers at the launch will be: Barry Gardiner (MP for Brent North),
Giles Clark (Primrose Solar), Damian Tow (Brighton Energy Co-op),
Mike Hulme (Head of QPCS) and the directors of Brent Pure Energy.
Ian Saville, Chair
of Brent Pure Energy said:
We are seeking investors to support the installation of solar panels in local schools, and are delighted to launch our venture at QPCS. Our share offer is a great opportunity for people to invest in clean green solar energy which will benefit schools and the wider community. Shareholders can expect an attractive return of at least 4% on their initial investment - higher than current interest rates from banks or building societies, with the added bonus that the money will also benefit the community and cut down on greenhouse gas emissions.
We plan to raise £60,000 for the solar project at QPCS and anticipate that shares will sell quickly - so we encourage people to apply as soon as possible. The minimum investment is £100.
All are welcome to
attend this free event to find out more about Brent Pure Energy and
how to get involved or invest. The event will take place at 7pm on
Thursday 28th
April in the Conference Room at QPCS, Aylestone Avenue, NW6 7BQ.
There will be a bar and light refreshments available. For
