This £26 million development represents a significant investment in the Welsh rural economy with around a third of the total cost of the project being placed with Welsh contractors or suppliers.

Every year, £9,000 is contributed from the Carno Wind Farm revenue to finance a land management project. This project has been supporting studies of wildlife and archaeology, and will develop a programme to improve the natural habitats. The land management scheme is administered by Powys County Council with assistance and advice from Countryside Council for Wales (CCW).

The wind farm also provides a community fund of over £20,000 per year, which is administered by local Councillors, to support worthwhile local projects in Trefeglwys, Carno and Llanbrynmair.
