Projects

Community groups in the vicinity of the Millennium windfarm will be able to apply for a boost to their funds next month as the developers behind the windfarm hand over their annual community benefit payment.

The wind farm, which is operated by Falck Renewables and has been operational since last summer, makes annual payments to both the Glengarry Trust and the Fort Augustus and Glenmoriston Community Company to fund specific needs and projects within the community.

A number of organisations in Dunvegan have received a welcome funding boost from the community benefit paid out by the Ben Aketil windfarm.

The windfarm, which is operated by Falck Renewables and has been operational since January 2008, makes annual payments to the Dunvegan Community Trust. Community groups are then invited to apply to the trust for funding for specific projects and needs.
