Community Fund
npower renewables has delivered a range of community benefits in association with its operating wind farms. These measures benefit those communities living closest to each wind farm, and have to date included energy efficiency measures, schools education programmes, local event sponsorships, equipment for schools, youth groups and sports clubs, and repair works to village halls and other community buildings. At Allt Dearg we expect to operate a similar community scheme.

Local Economy
Construction of the wind farm presents opportunities for local economic benefit and employment. Whilst we must follow current legislation and go through a competitive tender process for each part of the works, it is normal to expect that local suppliers and contractors with appropriate skills will be well placed to win some of these contracts. npower renewables actively encourages such local businesses to come forward and identify areas of expertise that would be of value to us.
