Benefits
Dealing with energy issuesThe need for more renewable energy sources is greater than ever. Climate change, increasing power prices and fears over security of supply have put the issue of energy high in everyone’s mind. National and regional authorities acknowledge that renewable energy is an important solution to meet the challenges of our modern lifestyle and its high energy demands.
CommunitiesInfinergy believes that the local community should benefit from the development of a wind farm. For instance, a wind farm that moves to the construction stage can create opportunities for local contractors. Furthermore we are keen to support the community on local initiatives. Therefore we would like to set up a trust fund which will be managed by local authorities and community members. Infinergy will donate revenue from the project to the fund. Typically this amount is up to £2,000 per megawatt installed per year.
As this fund will be managed by the local community, it will be up to the local residents to decide how the money is best invested back into the neighbouring area.
