Return on Investment - Revenue from Rainfall
|
Hydropower is not just about technology and being green but also about financial investment.
The Feed in Tariff has been set up to encourage you to invest in renewable energy schemes. It does this by giving a guaranteed return for 20 years from the day you start generating. Every drop of electricity you generate will gain you an index linked income regardless of whether you use the power or sell it to the grid. This makes an investment in a hydro scheme similar to an annuity investment with guaranteed returns over a 20 year period.
As part of our feasibility studies we will show you how you will generate that income and what the amounts will be. We will also show you how we work with you to optimise those returns, which includes listening to your situation and modifying our approach depending on whether you have a limited amount to invest, or whether you are simply looking for the maximum return. We then look at the way that spend generates income on your particular weir or river, and find the optimum point for you on the curve. |

We have experience of the tax rules surrounding hydro investments and can help with a variety of ways of structuring your scheme.
We also invest in schemes. Where we own the whole scheme we set up a lease so that you receive an income from your river asset, with no effort or investment. We can also set up joint ventures where we manage a company in which we all have an interest in generating maximum returns, and where you can invest as much or as little as you wish.
We work with local councils, community groups, as well as major companies who own river assets.
