Ripple Energy is an asset-light platform business with negligible operational footprint, but it published no formal sustainability data, set no emissions targets, and collapsed into administration in March 2025 after failing to deliver a flagship wind farm to 7,000 members. Consumer harm and financial losses dwarf any environmental credentials the business model promised.

Ripple Energy was a UK-based digital platform enabling individuals to co-own renewable energy projects (wind and solar farms) through cooperative membership. Founded around 2015, the company operated from a single London office with approximately 20–35 employees and positioned itself as a fintech bridge between retail investors and decentralized clean energy assets. It ceased trading in March 2025.
