RWE is committed to supporting the communities that neighbour our wind farms. In 2022 alone community funds from wind farms operated by RWE in Scotland invested around £780,000 into local projects.
We are currently seeking input and ideas for the future Inveroykel community benefit fund. If you have any comments, questions or suggestions for the fund, please contact our community investment team.
