SCORE FUNDING


FEATURE SPONSOR WORKING TOGETHER FOR INVESTMENT


LANDOWNER BENEFITS “We have structured a business strategy that puts the landowner first. We understand that word of mouth has been the reason for our growth over the years and we will endeavour to see that blossom.


“Presently ILI RE are working alongside set government strategies to push the growth for single rural turbines within the feed-in tariff. This is an opportunity like no other for landowners to benefit from a government-set feed-in tariff programme for the next 20 years.


“We promise to do our utmost to deliver for all landowners we work with. The ethics and values in our company are paramount. We are the only company of our type in Scotland set up to work specifically with development partners. Everyone else is trying to do the whole value chain by themselves.


“We are very proud of our reputation in the farming and renewable energy community. We have created a brand that we feel people know they can trust.”


COMMUNITY


ILI RE also enter into partnerships with community support groups and charities to spread the benefits of a local renewable energy installation. It is estimated that in the years to come, several million pounds will be shared out in this way. This figure will, of course, rise as further developments come on stream.


ILI have brought together some of the best minds and companies in the industry to ensure success for all involved. Their advisory board comprises energy industry executive William Landels, corporate financier Ramsay Duff, former politician and businessman turned writer and PR executive Michael Kelly, renewable energy technical expert Dr Keith Nicholson, construction industry executive Gordon Ash and land use advisor Gordon McCallum.


RENEWABLE ENERGY INCREASED INTEREST


Mr Wilson added: “In recent years, the emphasis from governments on renewable energy sources over traditional carbon- based energy sources has increased dramatically. This, in tum, has opened up a new, potentially lucrative, revenue stream for those with the knowledge and experience of relevant markets.


“The UK is one of the windiest countries in Europe, so much so that we could power our country several times over using this free fuel.”


Launched in 2010, the UK Government’s Feed-in-Tariff scheme guarantees, for 20 years, a set payment in addition to the existing tariff for electricity generated by smaller scale renewable energy developments.


FEED-IN-TARIFF


In April this year, however, the Department of Energy and Climate Change introduced a 20 per cent reduction in the payments for non-domestic small and medium-scale wind turbine developments – the sector into which the majority of British wind turbine manufacturers fall.


But Mr Wilson believes ‘medium wind’ is still a compelling investment opportunity for farmers and landowners looking to capitalise on their assets.
