DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS [Abstract]
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS	1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS The Ridgewood Power Growth Fund (the "Fund") is a Delaware trust formed on February 18, 1997. The Fund began offering shares of beneficial interest ("Investor Shares") in February 1998 and concluded its offering in April 2000. The Fund has 658.2067 Investor Shares outstanding. Prior to the adoption of the Fund's Plan of Dissolution (described below), the objective of the Fund was to provide benefits to its shareholders through a combination of distributions of operating cash flow and capital appreciation. The Managing Shareholder of the Fund is Ridgewood Renewable Power LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (the "Managing Shareholder"). Historically, the Fund focused primarily on independent power generation facilities, water desalinization plants and other infrastructure projects both in the US and abroad. On March 2, 2010, the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution of The Ridgewood Power Growth Fund (the "Plan of Dissolution") became effective. Under the Plan of Dissolution, the business of the Fund shifted, and became limited to the disposal of its remaining assets and resolution of its remaining liabilities. Upon the completion of these activities, if successful, the Managing Shareholder expects to distribute any remaining cash to the Fund's shareholders and then proceed to terminate the Fund and its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Fund is required to make adequate provisions to satisfy its known and unknown liabilities, which could substantially delay or limit the Fund's ability to make future distributions to shareholders. The process of accounting for the Fund's liabilities, including those that are presently unknown, may involve difficult valuation decisions, which could adversely impact the amount or timing of any future distributions by the Fund. Under the Plan of Dissolution, the Managing Shareholder has sole authority to conduct the Fund's dissolution, liquidation and termination without additional shareholder approval. As of the date of the issuance of these financial statements, the Fund has not been liquidated, primarily due to on-going matters discussed in Note 3. The Managing Shareholder is unable to estimate when these matters will be resolved and what financial impact the matters will have on the Fund's net assets or the timing, likelihood or amount of any future distributions to shareholders. It is possible that resolution of the matters discussed in Note 3 could result in a payment to the Fund; however, the Fund does not anticipate making additional distributions until the Fund has completed the liquidation process. At that time, the Fund's remaining cash, if any, will be distributed to holders of Investor Shares other than any Investor Shares held by the Managing Shareholder or its affiliates. The Fund currently has no cash, and does not expect to have any cash with which to make further distributions to shareholders unless resolution of the matters discussed in Note 3 results in a payment to the Fund. The Fund believes that it currently has access to sufficient resources to meet its anticipated obligations, as the Managing Shareholder has agreed to pay the on-going normal and recurring operating expenses of the Fund and waive all future management fees. Additionally, the Fund is not paying any on-going expenses regarding the matters discussed in Note 3. As a result, no estimated expenses for liquidation have been reflected in the accompanying financial statements of the Fund and there was no financial activity for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The Fund has evaluated subsequent events and transactions through the date of the issuance of its financial statements, and concluded that there were no such events or transactions that require adjustment to, or disclosure in the notes to, the condensed financial statements.
