Westmill Solar Co-operative

The project was originally conceived by Adam Twine, the pioneer behind the neighbouring Westmill Wind Farm Co-operative, built in 2011 and registered for the UK feed-in tariffs.

It raised the necessary finance through public and private share offers and a senior debt bond with a pension fund.

Westmill solar park is in the United Kingdom located on a site of 30 acres near to Watchfield, on the Wiltshire/Oxfordshire border, just off the A420.

Despite the tight timetable caused by the expiry date on the option,[3] the issue was 50% over-subscribed,[4] when it closed at the end of July.

[5] An additional c. £2m was raised by a private placement of B-Shares, mainly from members who had subscribed to the original issue.
