Project benefits

Vestas and Force 9 Energy are committed to giving local businesses every possible opportunity to share in the financial and employment benefits of the construction and operation of the Dalmacallan Wind Farm.

If constructed, Dalmacallan will offer opportunities for local businesses such as accommodation providers, hire companies, fencing contractors, tradesmen and machinery plant owners. If you are part of a local business, please fill in our feedback form (physical and digital copies available) on our dedicated project webpage, see link below. We will register your interest and keep you informed about valuable opportunities for local businesses connected with the wind farm.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT
At the heart of our approach is a strong commitment to supporting the communities that host our projects. If approved, Dalmacallan Wind Farm will bring community benefit, at the Scottish Government’s recommended rate equivalent of £5,000 per MW installed capacity. This substantial annual funding is available to fund and support local community projects in the region. This will be in place for the lifetime of the wind farm and will amount to around £17.28 million over the course of 30 years based on an installed capacity of 115.2MW. Vestas and Force 9 Energy would like to explore the potential for community shared ownership of this project and want the community to help shape what that could look like. We are keen to understand whether there is interest from local communities in the possibility of community shared ownership in the project and to hear any initial ideas.
