“We are ecstatic to have received the Finance & Innovation Award at the Community Energy England Awards. This recognition is a testament to the relentless dedication of our volunteers and the project development team at Ambition Community Energy CIC. It was an honour to share this momentous occasion with our esteemed investors, Thrive Renewables, Bristol & Bath Regional Capital, Bristol City Council, and members of the Society of Merch
ant Venturers. Without their financial support and backing, our community-owned wind turbine project – set to be the largest onshore turbine in England – would not have been a reality. Their timely tailored approach to financing through at-risk development investments and construction loans enabled us to develop and construct this project when conventional finance was not an option. We are deeply grateful for their support and take great pride in this achievement, which was made possible through the collective efforts of our team, volunteers, investors, and grant funders.”
