It is considered unwise to list Banks on the website as this may contravene rules on advertising Financial Services
However the following is published "on the net"
http://www.therenewableenergycentre.co.uk/grants/
This gives the websites for the following:-
Investment Funds
Merrill Lynch New Energy Technology Fund www.ml.com
Norwich Union Sustainable Future Funds www.norwichunion.com
Henderson Industries of the Future Fund www.henderson.com
Foresight Sustainable Development Funds www.foresightventurepartners.com
It should be remembered that Hydropower is a Long Term investment. Some probably Roman engineering works like leets are still usable, as are a number of later constructions. So the effect of cost inflation on the price of non hydro energy should always be considered in assessing Project Financial aspects.
Potential investors are invited to get in touch with Herehydro via a contact form
susteng.xls is a small program for assessing the financial viability of Sustainable Energy projects for concerns subject to profits tax, allowances for inflation included. This should be read in conjunction with http://www.eca.gov.uk/
