Project Benefits

We aim to use local workers as much as possible at our developments.

We also support young people who want to develop technical skills in the renewable energy sector. The proposed development aims to create direct and indirect economic benefits including:

• Local jobs during construction
• A range of contracts available for tender; local companies will be encouraged to apply for a variety of services such as electrical and building contracts, local plant hire, fencing, catering and accommodation among others
• The potential for local jobs, once the wind farm is operational

At our wind farms we invite the local community to help us shape a community benefit package that best meets local needs and wishes.

We are also working closely with shared ownership experts Energy4All to set up a new co-op structure to allow communities to invest if the repowering of the wind farm goes ahead.
