Farr Wind Farm

We are exploring the potential to maximise the capacity at the site by extending the project to the north.

This could deliver an additional 67MW of renewable electricity - capable of powering an additional 55,283 UK homes, strengthening the UK’s energy security and contributing to our green power future.

We believe that all our developments should deliver lasting, sustainable benefits.

We are committed to maximising the social and economic impact of the proposed Farr Wind Farm extension, building upon the legacy of the operational project and working with the communities closest to it to shape a community benefit package that reflects the real needs and priorities of those living and working locally.

Community benefit

We want to work with the local communities to learn from their experiences in delivering and managing the community benefit from Farr Wind Farm and other projects in the area, and let these experiences shape a package of benefits that reflects their needs and priorities.

We are committed to shared ownership and want to explore this with local residents. Elsewhere, we have worked with Energy4All to establish a cooperative structure, giving local people the opportunity to invest in the project and share directly in the financial returns.

With a longstanding track record of delivering meaningful community investment, should this project receive consent, we will work collaboratively to ensure that any benefit will make the greatest difference locally.

Economic benefit

We are committed to exploring all avenues to maximise the economic benefit.

• Priortising local employment and procurement at every stage of our developments - from construction through to long-term operation
• Working to support and encourage local businesses to tender for contracts, including electrical and building works, plant hire, fencing, catering and accommodation
• Supporting young people in building careers in renewable energy
• Exploring all avenues to maximise the economic benefit that our project can deliver locally
