The fund supports a wide range of community needs, from community buildings to local art installations to helping to drive local grassroots projects. The fund also includes an initiative to help provide jobs and apprenticeships in the local area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure the communities and their relative needs are fully represented when allocating grants, the Kype Muir Community Partnership (KMCP) manages the fund.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result of the Kype Muir Extension, we increased the benefits for the local communities. The new offer for the combined Kype Muir and Kype Muir Extension developments is supported by the following financial commitments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&nbsp;Increase in the communities share of gross revenues from 1.5 per cent to 2.5 per cent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;Guaranteed minimum of \u00a35,000 per MW per annum<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The increase to 2.5% of the revenue of the combined Kype Muir and Kype Muir Extension developments is expected to deliver \u00a332 million of funds to local communities over the lifecycle of the projects. In order to deliver this overall package the Kype Muir Extension partnering proposal will be as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gross Revenue share of 4% delivering \u00a320,000,000, taking the combined revenue share of the Kype projects to \u00a332,000,000.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Underwritten by a guaranteed minimum of \u00a35,000 per MW per annum which equates to \u00a37,600,000 over the project\u2019s lifecycle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.onpathenergy.com\/kype-muir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Kype-Muir-Community-Partnership-Report-2023-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kype Muir Community Partnership report 2023 <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n<section \n    id=\"grant\"\n    class=\"text-image py-16 text-image-6a06f59c75e52 \" \n    style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.onpathenergy.com\/kype-muir-extension\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Strathaven-0113-scaled.jpg)\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            \n            <div class=\"col-lg-6 order-md-2\">\n                \n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"col-lg-6 order-md-1\">\n                <div class=\"d-flex flex-column text-wrapper  h-100 rounded px-3 px-md-10 py-6 py-md-14 text-bg-dawn-yellow\">\n                    \n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading text-normal mb-1\">Apply for a grant<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading heading-h2 mb-md-auto mb-6\">Community benefit fund<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Please contact our OnPath Energy Community Fund fund manager  before applying for a grant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tel:&nbsp;<a href=\"tel:0191 378 6342\">0191 378 6342<\/a><br>Email:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:apply@onpathcommunityfund.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">apply@onpathcommunityfund.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make a grant applications please visit the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdcf.org.uk\/apply-for-a-grant\/grants-for-groups\/banks-renewables-surface-funds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">County Durham Community Foundation (CDCF) website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.onpathenergy.com\/kype-muir-extension\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/OnPath-Wind-Farms-Kype-Muir-Wind-Farm-Community-Fund-2-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fund guidelines (PDF)<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n<section \n    id=\"business\"\n    class=\"text-image py-16 text-image-6a06f59c79b04 text-bg-default\" \n    style=\"background-image:url()\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            \n            <div class=\"col-lg-6 order-md-1\">\n                                    <div class=\"mb-6 mb-md-0\">\n                                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.onpathenergy.com\/kype-muir-extension\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/OPE_0_2954_OnPath-Business-Partnership-Graphic-656x800.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"img-fluid d-none d-md-block rounded\" \/>\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.onpathenergy.com\/kype-muir-extension\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/OPE_0_2954_OnPath-Business-Partnership-Graphic-343x343.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"img-fluid d-block d-md-none rounded\" \/>\n                                            <\/div>\n                \n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"col-lg-6 order-md-2\">\n                <div class=\"d-flex flex-column text-wrapper  h-100 rounded px-0 px-md-10 py-0 py-md-14 \">\n                    \n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading text-normal mb-1\">Supporting local businesses<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading heading-h2 mb-md-auto mb-6\">Seeing the bigger picture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-medium\">As part of our commitment to local businesses, wherever possible, we invite local suppliers to tender for work on our projects.
