Climate Change Capital has opened Ventus VCT, which hopes to raise Â£25m. The specialist venture capital trust has been established to invest in a portfolio of companies that will develop, construct and operate small on-shore UK wind projects typically consisting of between one and six wind turbines. Investments will generally be in companies developing community projects, projects initiated by specialist small-scale developers, small industrial sites and small projects which are not of interest to large development companies and utilities. The climate change advisory management team consists of individuals with experience in investment management as well as specific experience in developing and investing in wind energy projects in the UK. The board of Ventus has wide experience of investment in both smaller growing companies and larger quoted companies, as well as specific investment experience in UK wind projects. One of the directors is Alan Moore, the former managing director of national wind power and chairman of the British Wind Energy Association.
