Economic Benefits for Local Communities

In order to provide community benefits, Falck Renewables has a policy of establishing a wind farm trust fund, to enable support to be given to:

  • Initiatives to promote sustainable local site development and tourism
  • Environmental education initiatives
  • Local recreation infrastructure such as improvements to existing community infrastructure like bridleways, footpaths, new cycleways, playgrounds and permissive paths; and
  • Other community- led projects.

We have currently commiteed to pay community Benefit tottaling £320,000 acros our 6 projects in the UK, which equals to over £8M over teh life of the projects.
