We recently submitted our bid to energyshare which we hope will win us a significant amount of the funding we need to build Jordan Dam Hydro. We now have a nervous wait until the judges announce the ‘Top 10’ projects which will go to the final public vote. This announcement will be made by the end of December. The grant is a key part of our plans to raise the half a million pounds we need to build Jordan Dam Hydro, alongside our Community Share offers and loans.
We were in second place when the first round closed, with 650 supporters. Since then projects in Bradford, Gloucestershire and Northumberland have over taken, leaving us just over 300 supporters behind the most popular group. Once again the more supporters we can get, the better our chances of being chosen for the ‘Top 10’. Registering on energyshare is also important because otherwise you can’t take part in the public vote.
