Investing in wind turbines, what are the options?

By investing in wind turbines you contribute to the production of clean energy, and it yields a good return. Investing in wind turbines can be done in various ways. An investor runs the least risk with a climate bond, thanks to a fixed interest rate.

Investing in wind turbines through climate bonds
Investing in wind turbines can be done in various ways, for example through green or climate bonds. In this way, investors provide a loan at a fixed interest rate, which serves to finance a wind farm. WindShareFund invests in high-quality wind farms in Germany by issuing ClimateBonds. It is a sustainable investment with the least possible risk. Participants receive a base interest of 3 percent per year with a maximum term of ten years.

Investing in wind turbines through shares
Buying a share is also a form of investing. With a share, the investor owns a part of the company - for example, a wind turbine project. The investor makes money through a profit distribution or by selling his shares when they have increased in value. Equities carry more risks than bonds. Shareholders do not receive a fixed interest rate as the price fluctuates. They will therefore try to respond to price falls and rises. There is a greater chance of winning, but also a greater chance of losing.

What happens to an investment in wind turbines?
Investors pay with a share or bond towards the costs of the construction and life cycle of a wind turbine. On land, a wind turbine is profitable after eight to ten years, for sea it takes about twelve years. Sometimes the construction of a wind farm can be halted. That is why it is wise to invest in wind farms that are already in use. The wind turbines of WindShareFund are located in the German parks Hochborn and Keilberg and have been running for years.
