Community benefit
A market-leading community benefit package will be provided alongside any future development. This will consist of a community fund, which will receive an annual payment at the rate of £2,500 per installed megawatt. If one 2.5MW turbine is constructed, for example, the fund will receive £6,250 on an annual basis for the operational life of the project.
The fund will be administered by representatives of the local community, to be spent in any way that the community sees fit.
A separate community benefit fund consultation will take place later on in the development process.
