The excellent news is we’ve been selected for the ‘Top 10’ vote on energyshare. This means we could win £100,000 towards development costs for Jordan Dam Hydro. We are in the ‘large’ project category where only one winner will be selected. There are also ‘medium’ and ‘small’ categories.
To win the cash we need to get more votes than any of the other projects in our category. Everyone that is registered on energyshare can take part in the vote which begins on 15th November. If you’ve not already done so you can register for free on energyshare in a few minutes. The more of your friends, family and colleagues you can persuade to sign up too, ready for the 15th, the better our chances of winning the vote. In terms of supporters we need to double our existing 709 to be the most popular project in the competition.
The winners will be announced at the begining of December. If we are successful, this cash will contribute to Jordan Dam Hydro alongside the £65,000 we have raised in our first share offer. We would then have a third of the cash we need for the half a million pound project!
