Community Benefit Scheme

We believe that living in the locality of a Coillte Wind Farm should be a positive experience not only from a sustainable energy perspective but also from a local development perspective.

We have therefore developed a bespoke wind farm Community Benefit Scheme for communities close to our wind farms that run for the lifetime of the wind farm. The design of the scheme is unique to each project and this design is driven by the community that administer and avail of it.

It can include:

• Contributing to the improvement of local recreational amenities
• Supporting local projects that benefit the wider community
• Engaging with local communities in enhancing sustainable energy awareness, use and efficiency

Current schemes are in operation for:
