Project benefits

COMMUNITY OWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY EDFR is committed to providing an opportunity for community groups in and around Moray to collectively invest up to 5% in, and thus share in the profits of, the project over its operational lifetime. Force 9 has been liaising closely with interested Community Groups on this opportunity, including a presentation to the Joint Community Councils (JCC) of Moray. Force 9 also hosted a conference on shared ownership in the project in November 2017, which won the ‘Best Engagement’ prize at the 2018 Green Energy Awards. Community Ownership has the potential to fund significant long term ‘legacy’ projects, galvanise communities and build their capacity to grow and develop.

Your capital is at risk if you invest. Investments are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. For a full risk warning, please contact Steven Park and a representative from EDF Renewables Community Investment Ltd will contact you. EDF Renewables is a trading name of EDF Renewables Community Investment Ltd which is an appointed representative of Resolution Compliance Limited which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN: 574048)

COMMUNITY BENEFIT
In addition to the Community Ownership Opportunity, EDFR is committed to paying Community Benefit at the Scottish Government recommended rate (currently £5,000 equivalent per MW) per annum. If the wind farm was consented and built at its proposed 225MW capacity, this would mean a payment to local communities of up to £1.125 million per year (index linked) for each year of operation of the wind farm (anticipated to be up to 30 years); a total of up to £33.75 million.
