Paul Ellis, CEO of Ecology, said: "We’re pleased to be involved with the Oakapple Berwickshire project.

"It’s a great fit for us as it addresses our members’ desire to tackle fuel poverty, support social housing and add to the UK’s growing renewables capacity."

Abundance is the UK's online ethical investment platform.

Since its launch, the scheme has raised more than £9.5 million of investment for its projects.
