Ecology Building Society has invested £250,000 into crowdfunding site Abundance as part of a new partnership to extend support for UK renewable energy projects. Ecology has selected the Oakapple Berwickshire solar project for its first investment; with 749 roof-mounted solar panels set to provide 2595kW of electricity to homes in the local area. “It’s a great fit for us as it addresses our members’ desire to tackle fuel poverty, support social housing and add to the UK’s growing renewables capacity,” said Ecology Building Society chief executive Paul Ellis.
