Community benefits<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Creating community value together<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We establish community funds for every OnPath Energy project to ensure that the benefits are channeled back into the local community. Kype Muir Wind Farm, together with the Kype Muir Extension, provide the local community with a range of benefits including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– \u00a321.1 million into a local community fund over the lifespan of the wind farm <\/p>\n\n\n\n

– \u00a3159 million investment in the local economy <\/p>\n\n\n\n

– 800 jobs directly or indirectly supported  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

– \u00a31.3 million skills and training fund for the first five years, supporting almost 700 people locally <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increased benefits when combined with Kype Muir Extension<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Kype Muir Community Fund provides around \u00a3442,000 annually to benefit community groups within 10 kilometres of the Kype Muir Wind Farm and Extension. 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

To ensure the communities and their relative needs are fully represented when allocating grants, the Kype Muir Community Partnership (KMCP) manages the fund. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result of the Kype Muir Extension, we can increase 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
