Ripple Energy

Ripple Energy was a renewable energy cooperative based in London, UK, founded in January 2017.

The company aimed to make clean energy ownership affordable and accessible through a cooperative model. This allowed individuals and businesses to collectively purchase shares in large-scale renewable energy projects, such as wind farms and solar parks, without needing to install their own equipment. Ripple Energy's primary service was its collective energy ownership platform, enabling customers to buy shares in renewable projects. Shareholders benefited from direct bill reductions, as the energy produced was credited against their electricity bills. The company also provided a digital marketplace for customers to explore projects and manage their investments. Notably, Ripple managed the Graig Fatha wind farm, recognized as the UK's first consumer-owned wind farm. Although Ripple Energy ceased trading in March 2025, it played a significant role in promoting community-owned renewable energy in the UK.
