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. Once built this would mean a payment to local communities of up to £1.125 million per year for each year of operation of the wind farm (anticipated to be around 30 years); a total of up to £33.75 million.
