Community Benefit & Shared Ownership
Altnabreac Wind Farm, if successful in its application, will make an annual contribution of £5,000 for every megawatt of installed capacity during the period of operation to a local community benefit fund.
Based on up to a 130 MW project, this could amount to a community benefit fund with an equivalent annual estimated value of £650,000 or £26 million over the life of the project.
The community feedback package will be designed in collaboration with the local community, using feedback from public exhibitions, community councils and feedback forms, to ensure it delivers tangible benefits.
Community Ownership
Altnabreac Wind Farm will look to explore potential models for community shared ownership. This would provide an opportunity for the communities around the site to acquire a direct stake in the project.
