Update 1st July 2025
Esk Energy has reached an important milestone as we have paid off the loan from the North York Moors National Park Authority. Therefore, we are now in the position to be able to pay for some of the work that has been undertaken on a voluntary basis. Caryn Loftus will be remaining as Company Secretary and re-standing as a Director at the next AGM but handing over the maintenance of our share register to Sharenergy from 1st July. Sharenergy help communities both set up new projects and run existing community energy projects. They came highly recommended to us.
Included in the management of the share register is the organising of share interest payments, sending out share interest payments and communication relating to our AGM. Therefore, from 1st July, any communication relating to your shareholding will come via Sharenergy. After that date, if you have any queries relating to your shareholding please contact Sharenergy.
