Project benefits

Mossmulloch Wind Farm is being developed under the terms of an agreement between Force 9 Energy Limited and Vestas Development A/S.

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 Mossmulloch wind farm. If constructed, Mossmulloch 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 contact us and 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, Mossmulloch Wind Farm will bring a payment of community benefit, of around £4.3 million over its lifetime. This funding will be available, from the commencement of operation of the wind farm, to support local community projects in the region. These Community Benefit funds would be administered by a trust or similar body in which local people would serve as the trustees. The funds would be available for a variety of local good causes and, subject to certain guidelines, it would be up to the Trustees as to how best to distribute the available funds.
