In the current economic cycle I think investing into these Government backed scheme are a very good safe investment to have. I am not surprised at quickly the loan was filled.
This brings us onto the next loan in the pipeline. I have asked if you can rollover your existing investment in M***** V***** CHP. The answer I got back was highly likely but not a definite.
I think considering the speed of the previous loan it might be a good option.

New biomass refinancing loan up. I don't think I'll be going for this due to other commitments. Maybe if it's still around (doubtful) at end of the month.

Neither of the two current offers are being taken up very quickly.
Any idea why?

Some will still be paying off Christmas bills and/or booking holidays. Stock market wobbles. Abundance investors are quite sensitive to them. I've seen a bunch of secondary market offers get withdrawn during stock market dips previously. Size of loans. They are both quite sizeable compared to some of Abundance's previous offers. I guess they will get filled eventually, but it could take easily another month - which might take them past their deadlines.

Does anyone know whether Abundance currently has any new loans in the 'pipeline'?
There used to be a button to see loans which were due soon. It is no longer there. Is this because there are currently no such loans or has the button been removed (hidden) for another reason?

There have been hints of more stuff in the pipeline, but nothing concrete. I think one of their communications relating to paying interest on any sums in the ISA until the summer suggested there would be more debentures before then.
And, of course, we are still waiting to see what happens with one that is waiting on approval. Depending on what they end up doing, they will have start raising money for that one pretty soon!

New wind portfolio investment up. Hmm. I was hoping that the biomess investments would have been further down the line in the form of a solution by now before I invest again.
My risk assessment of Abundance as a investment vehicle has been proved wrong. It's more risky than I calculated.
On this wind investment (I have not read the docs properly) I am led to believe that a wind turbine normally has a 5 year guarantee. So these will be near the end of that.
Also the >5% return does not start until 2026. You will be getting more likely around 3% until then.

It's not an attractive offer on the face of it.

I'm inclined to agree. I think we'll see more and more of these portfolios of installations with a little skimmed off the top each time as the years go by. Let's not forget also that their feed-in tariff payments will be tracking an inflation index, the interest payments won't.
Also, I was in Abundance to help new build renewables rather than consolidation.
