The Knockcronal Wind Farm proposal includes a proposed community benefit package £5,000 per MW of installed capacity per annum for the lifetime of the project, based on the Scottish Government's best practice guidance. In addition to the traditional community benefit fund for this project if there is interest from within the community we are keen to bring forward opportunities for shared ownership for this proposal too.
We are also keen to look for other ways our projects can bring meaningful benefits to the community such as the potential for improved access to broadband(External link), and are dedicated to working with Local suppliers.
We are assessing a number of access options for the project, both in terms of the port of entry and the site access/entrance from the public highway. These aspects of the route will be evaluated further and in detail once the turbine size is confirmed.
We will provide updates on the proposed access route as it becomes available on this dedicated project website.
