Established on October 4, 2013, with its headquarters in Darlington, England, UK Renewable Investments has been in the eye of the storm. Due to a myriad of financial and litigation issues, the firm received a court-ordered wind-up on April 19, 2019. Though initially set to be dissolved, the dissolution was deferred until 2026 on the Secretary of State's directive.
Investors should be alarmed by several red flags:
Initially, UK Renewable Investments plc promised its 208 investors that their funds would help develop renewable energy plants. They were lured in with a lucrative 11% per annum returns rate over a five-year term. Sadly, most of the £2.5 million invested was redirected to a separate entity, Bio Green Energy Ltd, for construction projects in Northern Ireland that never saw the light of day.
Bio Green Energy itself went into administration in May 2017. Subsequently, administrators requested dissolution as they found no funds available to repay investors. A court order in 2021, made it near impossible for UK Renewable Investments' bondholders to directly recoup their losses.
The court and the Insolvency Service were scathing about the way UK Renewable Investments conducted its operations. They criticised the company's "lack of commercial probity" and absence of "appropriate governance and control," pointing out that it was the investors who would bear the brunt of these failures.
