EDF Power Solutions Longpark Wind Farm Community Fund

The EDF Power Solutions Longpark Wind Farm Community Fund supports community projects benefiting those living in the Parish of Stow Community Council area in the Scottish Borders. It is provided by EDF Power Solutions, which owns and operates the Longpark Wind Farm. The Fund was opened in 2010 and provides an annual amount of £45,000, inflation-adjusted, paid into the Fund each year for the operating life of the wind farm, which is expected to be 25 years. In 2024, the income to the Fund had risen to £78,900. The Fund provides grants to support charitable activities that enhance the quality of life for local residents, contribute to vibrant, healthy, successful and sustainable communities, and promote community spirit and encourage community activity. Grants may support a wide range of costs, such as equipment, staff or sessional workers, consultations, running costs for local groups, maintenance or refurbishment of community facilities, and similar expenses.
