Investment opportunities include solar photovoltaic, wind, and hydro electric, anaerobic digestion and biomass projects. We aim to deliver returns in excess of £1.50 to investors (including £0.30 EIS Income Tax Relief) net of all fees per £1.00 invested.
Guinness EIS 5 will be managed by Shane Gallwey and Edward Guinness who bring extensive private equity and renewable energy experience and have raised and invested Guinness’ existing EIS offerings.
They are supported by an Investment Committee that complements the team with the experience of Tim Guinness, Tom Hill-Norton, Andrew Martin Smith and Lord Flight, Chairman of the EIS Association.
Shane Gallwey, fund manager said:"We continue to see a wealth of investment opportunities in the small-scale renewables sector. The UK has a maturing renewables sector with falling technology costs and increasingly experienced developers. The country’s high and rising energy costs has led many businesses to look to renewables as a way of reducing these costs.
