We establish community funds for every OnPath renewable project to ensure the benefits are channelled back into the local community. Pates Hill generates around £70,000 annually in community benefit funding.
The majority of Pates Hill’s funding is managed by the West Lothian Development Trust (WLDT), who administer the community benefits from five other West Lothian wind farms.
